Since its founding in 2001, Smart City Kids (SCK) has successfully guided families with expertise and sensitivity through the complexities of applying to schools. The mission of SCK is to be a village for all things education related, whether working with families to define their priorities and identify the educational profile for their student or partnering with schools and other organizations in support of their mission-driven goals. Advisors work with students from nursery school through college, including special education and families relocating to New York. As the leading admissions consulting group in New York City, SCK collaborates closely with its clientele to reduce the stress of the admissions experience and to empower learners and their families with agency during the process of selecting a right fit educational program. Our corporate and institutional advisory group provides guidance for all areas of school operations – admissions, exmissions, rebranding, marketing, strategic planning, communications, development, hiring and leadership transitions, and curricular initiatives. SCK remains engaged with school partners as long as necessary, offering regular accessibility for school leadership and stakeholders. SCK works diligently to thoroughly understand all aspects of each organization, and designs a collaborative process toward the achievement of institutional goals. SCK also supports corporate clients by providing a broad range of employee workshops. The goal is to enhance employee work/life balance by detailing strategies and information at all levels of the educational process. Topics include admissions and financial aid for nursery school, lower, middle, and high school, college, and special education.
