[quote=Anonymous]We used Clare for all of our kids.  It was nothing close to $11,000 - she has different options check her website for rates.

I too get annoyed with the trolls on this forum.  Clare is a working parent and this is her livelihood.  If you didn't like her or found it too expensive, at least ground your response with incorrect facts.  I am willing to talk about offline and give specifics experiences - If the OP gives an anonymous email I will send my cellphone number to talk.

With our kids the oldest- smart but very quirky -we used Clare he got into a Big 3 school in middle and it was a great fit.

The next year his younger brother went to a different private for Middle school. He was sporty and less academic, and we thought a different school would be better academically.  It was a nightmare. He had a really bad class- he was bullied, parents in the class were horrible, school administration not responsive.

Clare moved heaven and earth to help us find options to move mid-year. She was concerned, responsive, and DID NOT CHARGE US for her help.  He was accepted at a great option mid-year thanks to Clare.  Then he decided to try to stick it out (pride, fear of change again wanting to prove something to himself). He ended up staying one more year. Things were better, but not great. We finally decided it just was not a good fit for him or our family. He applied to his brother's Big 3 and got in.  Clare stayed by us through the whole TWO YEAR odyssey. I reiterate-She did not charge us for all the extra help.  She checked in multiple times over the two years and was a thoughtful and empathetic sounding board.

I am getting personal enough here to be identifiable because I feel strongly about how much she helped us, in terms of our experience, we saw both the clout Clare has with the schools when it counts and that she truly cares about the families she works with.

Also to one of the PP's : Clare isn't just a waspy boarding school consultant - she understands and gets kids in all their differences- artsy, alternative, LD, ADHD- she understands and most importantly knows the DC schools.
