are characterized by a shared commitment to the needs of each individual
student, to collaboration and to open,
honest, full communication.

the schools to which they refer students.
- Consultants seek to provide appropriate options for the needs
and talents of each individual student when recommending schools
to families.
- Consultants foster positive relationships between families and
schools based upon mutual trust and respect.
- Consultants respect that it is the school’s responsibility
to make admission decisions.
