PRIVATE SCHOOL ADMISSIONS + PARENT COACHING

I work with families navigating private school admissions and the day-to-day realities of parenting. I provide thoughtful, ongoing support to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Katie Whittelsey, founder of Academics Plus. For nearly two decades, I’ve helped families navigate complex educational decisions from private school admissions and learning differences to the day-to-day realities of parenting.

If you’ve landed here, you’re likely facing important decisions about your child. You may be unsure of the right path, advocating for a child who doesn’t fit the mold, or trying to make thoughtful choices in a process that can feel overwhelming. You don’t have to do this alone.

I work closely with families to bring clarity, strategy, and perspective to each step. From understanding your child’s learning profile to navigating admissions and making confident decisions, my role is to ensure you feel informed, supported, and steady throughout the process.

This work is both professional and personal to me. I understand the weight of these decisions and the responsibility parents carry. My goal is to help you move forward with clarity and confidence, knowing you are making the right choices for your child.

Take a look around, and if it feels like a fit, I’d love to connect.
