Undecided on her major.

I would welcome recommendations for educational consultants with expertise in this area.

Yes, we are researching two schools in NC, probably one of the same. They specialize in middle school girls.

I read before posting, and did not find the feedback I need. Hoping our different details lead to a more relevant response. Thanks!

Our daughter is trying to decide between these three schools. She is liberal, shy, and diverse. By the numbers, CNU seems like a less over-whelming option with only 5k students; however, we've heard it is has conservative leadership and a more conservative student body. JMU gets great reviews but is 22k kids. GMU about the same. Is CNU conservative? And what do is conservative mean at CNU? Can a shy kid be happy and thrive at JMU or GMU?

Hi, we are seeking a therapeutic boarding school for our rising 8th grade daughter. She is adopted and struggles with anxiety, depression, and self-harm. (Note: We've already done local treatment for many years). Any recommendations?
