Families who are interested in working with us are welcome to schedule a free 30-minute Zoom consultation. During this meeting, we get to know the family and the student, discuss possible school options and admissions pathways, and introduce our services and how we work. After the consultation, if we feel that we are a good fit for each other and the family would like to move forward, we will provide a consulting agreement. If a family would like additional consultation time before making a final decision, they are welcome to schedule another meeting at $300 per hour.

Our comprehensive consulting package typically ranges from $8,000 to $20,000, depending on the grade level and the number of schools a family is applying to. Most of our local families applying to day schools invest between $8,000 and $16,000.

Yes, we offer additional services such as one-on-one writing classes with our writing instructors, art portfolio development, and other enrichment support based on each student’s needs. Each consulting package already includes access to our ISEE/SSAT test prep system, which provides unlimited practice tests, mock exams, and practice materials. This means most families do NOT need to purchase additional ISEE/SSAT test prep services elsewhere. In fact, about 98% of our families prepare for the ISEE/SSAT using our system alone without needing to hire outside tutors. For students who need additional support, we also offer one-on-one private tutoring for ISEE/SSAT preparation.

Each family is assigned a lead consultant and supported by a progress tracking manager and a former admissions officer. Our team works closely together to provide thoughtful and efficient guidance throughout the admissions process.

Our team coordinates school tours and interviews directly with schools and helps create a clear visit schedule for families traveling to attend admissions events. Since many families spend one to two weeks visiting schools, we help plan a well-organized and balanced schedule so they can make the most of their time in the area. We also advise families on which events to prioritize when time is limited, and we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.

Yes, we do offer a sibling discount. For more details, please contact us at info@primaryedugroup.com (mailto:info@primaryedugroup.com)to schedule a time to discuss your family’s specific situation.

Most of our families sign up for our services between January and June of the year before their child applies to school. For example, if your child is applying to enter school in Fall 2027, the ideal time to start working with us would be between January and June 2026. Starting during this time allows us to focus on pre-planning and help families understand what students and parents can do during the spring and summer before the application season begins in the fall.
