Crystal Stone
Private School Admissions Advisor

I've spent over twenty years in education, supporting students in building strong academic foundations and helping families navigate important academic decisions.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Curriculum & Instruction and Educational Leadership, and have worked extensively with students across multiple grade levels—giving me a clear understanding of how academic performance, testing, and preparation come together over time.
In recent years, my work has focused specifically on helping families approach private school admissions with clarity, structure, and a long-term strategy.
Because the truth is—many families enter this process with incomplete or misleading information.
They focus heavily on grades or test scores…
but admissions decisions are rarely based on a single factor.
I created this workshop to give families a clear, honest explanation of how the process actually works—so you can move forward with confidence and make thoughtful, informed decisions for your child.
This is not about guessing or hoping for the best—it’s about understanding how decisions are made so you can approach the process with clarity.
