The BDSA Team is Crimson Education’s Boarding & Day School Admissions group, made up of admissions strategists who work with families applying to independent boarding and day schools. We know this process can feel opaque, especially for families going through it for the first time, so our goal is to make it clearer.

On this blog, we write about the questions parents ask us most: how to choose the right schools, what admissions teams look for, how to prepare for the SSAT, ISEE, and interviews, and how to keep the timeline manageable for the whole family. Every article is written to help you make informed decisions, whether or not you ever work with us.
