Resources

Additional competencies to support our clients' journey

Your primary resource will be The Howland, Spence & McMillan team of consultants. In addition to our collective decades of experience in schools and colleges and in the field of educational consulting, we are always working to stay current, even ahead, of trends in our field and to be on campuses all over the country on a regular basis. While we all are able to provide wise guidance in all facets of the school and college process, each of us has deep knowledge in particular facets of educational planning. When you work with one of us, you derive benefit from the collective wisdom of our HS&M team.

Our team is constantly conferring on our clients' needs, discussing trends in admissions, and comparing notes about our school and college visits. Frequently we turn to our colleagues for an extra pair of eyes on one of our student’s essays, or ask a colleague to conduct a mock interview for one of our students. Each of us is committed to the shared mission of providing our students and families the fullest benefits of our collective HS&M wisdom.

In addition to your access to our HS&M acumen, we also provide you a list of useful websites about schools, testing and exams which many of our clients find helpful during the school and college planning process:
