🏫 The most intensive recruitment months are ahead.

For boarding schools, visibility matters. But knowing what is driving family interest matters more.

The McMillan Education Boarding School Guide gives schools access to meaningful performance data and matched family intent, helping admissions teams see what families are responding to: campus life, academic rigor and unviersity outcomes, learning support, geography, extracurricular offerings, and more.

Because stronger enrollment strategy starts with better search insight.

🎒 If a school search is on your family’s radar this year, the work starts before the application.

The first weeks of school already say a lot: how a student shows up, follows through, connects with teachers, and commits to the things they care about.

Bill Southwick, our School Planning Expert and former long-time admissions director, has seen that from the admissions side for years.

Watch this reel to learn what students can do now to start the year and the search with more purpose.

Then turn that purpose into a stronger school search with The McMillan Education Boarding School Guide: https://www.owlboardingschools.com/

🎒 Heading back to school?

Each year of high school comes with its own priorities, especially when it comes to preparing for college.

9th grade is about building a foundation.
10th grade is about adding direction.
11th grade is about focus and momentum.
12th grade is about ex*****on and reflection.

Peter Olrich, Director of College and University Planning, shares what students should be thinking about as the new school year begins.

Wishing everyone a great start to the year ahead. ☀️

🎉 Congratulations to our students who are, this month and next, off to more than 90 day and boarding schools in the U.S. and abroad!

We couldn't be prouder of the range of student goals, needs, and school environments represented in this year’s class of new school students.

For seventy years, this is what thoughtful school planning and placement is all about: understanding each student deeply, knowing every school’s unique nuances, and forging the match that launches a young person into a transformative experience of growth and fulfillment.

These are the principles upon which the new and supercharged version of The McMillan Education Boarding School Guide was built. Extending our reach to help more families from next door and around the world explore the broader boarding school landscape with the proven context and direction that cuts through biased and bought endorsements and forges authentic student-school matches.

🏫 It’s almost time for one of our favorite late-summer traditions.

Each year, we look forward to gathering with independent school colleagues after decision season and before the new school year begins to trade notes on the admissions landscape, reconnect, and continue the conversations that help us serve students well.

This year, we’re looking forward to bringing together local Boston independent schools and boarding schools from across New England at Night Shift Brewery on August 20.

Before the main gathering, we’ll also host a special 4:15 PM session for Secondary School Placement Directors from across the region to (re)introduce new, supercharged The McMillan Education Boarding School Guide and share how the platform supports our common goal: helping boarding school candidates find the right school environment.

We’re excited to see our colleagues there.
