College Education Consulting
As parents, our roles often call for us to make decisions for our children, some we make well, others make us question our ability to parent. One of the major areas that parents often question whether or not they are making the best decision is in their child’s education. One of the reasons Archipelago Education Consulting, LLC was established is to be that voice of direction and reason, as you make decisions for your child for college or university.
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
Education is evolutionary and change is inevitable. We provide a fresh set of experienced eyes to facilitate minor and significant addition and changes within a school or organization.
