Why Choose One Sky

We’re in it for the long haul with you. As Steve Jobs said, “overnight success stories take a long time.” We work in partnership with families and, when possible, their schools to guide, nudge, and help steer. At the end of the day, students drive their own success, and we offer a compass, support, resources, and a tailored map to help you along the journey.

We want to help you find an environment where you will THRIVE and where you will help us fulfill our mission to change the world by creating a more globally-minded next generation of leaders. So, we think your personal development and finding the right-fitting school is actually kind of a big deal :). We hope to get to know you and your aspirations and help to make them a reality.   

What Makes Us, uS?

  • We love what we do. From Julia’s childhood days creating collages to frequently finding four leaf clovers to acting as senior editor of her high school yearbook to becoming a peer advisor in her college’s (Colgate) career services office— even before adulthood, she honed attention to detail and helping others find and narrate their stories. We love to uncover people’s inherent goodness so they may shine.

  • We value quality, authentic, value-adding relationships with our families and students. We respond quickly, think about your path intentionally and get to know you, and support you sincerely.

  • We often work with students and families through multiple growth phases: elementary —> boarding school —> university.

  • Most of our clients come to us through referrals, and we love meeting folks from all over.

  • We don’t make guarantees about any results. But we will guarantee that our work will transform you if you lean into the process. Positive outcomes naturally flow when you work hard and listen to our advice and your gut.
