Find the Right Fit For Your Child
Choosing the right school for your child can feel overwhelming with so many options available. It’s crucial to find an environment that supports your child’s unique strengths and addresses their challenges.
This is where where I come in. With over 30 years of experience as a teacher, administrator, and admissions director, I have an in-depth knowledge of the local education system. I will work with you to identify the best fit for your child, helping you narrow down your choices and reduce the stress and uncertainty of the decision-making process.


About Kristin
I am passionate about childhood education and devoted to helping children find happiness in learning. That’s why I’ve spent my entire career in this field. I’ve worked as a classroom teacher, served as an administrator and, most recently, as Director of Admissions at Graland Country Day School. My experience informs my practice as an educational consultant, and I can’t wait to share my knowledge and skills with you, your child and your family.

G & P
From start to finish, Ryder Educational Consulting made the process of searching for a secondary school fun and exciting. Kristin took the time to get to know us as a family and our son as an individual. She matched us to a school that will not only support our child academically, socially and emotionally but also that will celebrate his strengths and foster his creativity. Our son is so excited for this next chapter in his life and we couldn’t be happier!

Kristin was one of the most crucial parts of my boarding school search. I loved how thorough she was and how every step of the way, she provided information about each school that I was keen on. She was always so involved and thoughtful with my family regarding this process. I would 100% recommend her.

D & J
From day one, Kristin was dedicated to understanding all that she could about who our daughter is as a learner, an athlete, and a community member. Her attention to detail, and genuine care for our family, allowed her to guide us through the process to a great outcome.

K.L.
Thank you so much for your time during this entire process. You are so attuned to what our goals are, who our son is and what he needs, and of course to the best options for us. We are so grateful.

Kate K.
When our son was in first grade, it became very clear that his school setting was not a good fit. His needs were not being met. Kristin identified a school for him that we may not have found or chosen on our own. Thanks to her insightfulness and depth of understanding of what different schools have to offer, our son has flourished for the past six years at the school she recommended.

Marcia D.
My son was pushing to go to boarding school out of state, and I was against it. Kristin helped me understand how boarding schools can positively impact the student as well as the whole family.

Kathy R.
I would highly recommend working with Kristin. She helped us think about our son’s school experience from a holistic perspective and directed us towards a school that was not on our radar. It’s been life changing for our son and family.

As someone who has had the pleasure of working along-side her, I can tell you that Kristin’s priorities have always remained the same – it’s always about what’s best for kids.
