Concierge Care

Caring for your children as if they were our own.

Concierge Care for Boarding School and College Students

Sound Consulting was created to help parents and their children find the best possible educational opportunities available to them.  We are a firm that is centered on personal care.  We provide our client families with expert, compassionate counsel from school and/or college planning, application support, matriculation decisions and care during the academic year.

 One element of our personal, expert care is our concierge services for students ages 8-22 who are away from home in boarding school or college/university.  We have decades of experience of caring for students and providing their parents a level of confidence and comfort in knowing their children are being looked after in a manner and at a level they themselves would provide.  We are educators, medical personal but also we are parents ourselves.  We care for our client just as we would wish our own children to be cared for.  

 We have particular experience in serving international families from six continents.  We have served hundreds of students from abroad, all of whom have received outstanding care from our Sound Consulting principals.

Sound Consulting recognizes that all boarding schools and many colleges and universities require international students to have a “local” guardian on record.  We provide comprehensive concierge care in a family centered way to help students settle into a new school or college, and thrive thereafter.  By giving this level of expert care to the student we give parents a peace of mind that is critical.
