Camille M. Bertram
Educational Consultants
It is difficult to consider an educational direction for our sons and daughters without reflecting on our own experiences as students. There is little in common today, except for the continued importance of a quality education and the economic, social and career implications of an educational choice.
As both a professional educational consultant and mother of four who have completed college, I am intimately acquainted with an educational system that has grown far more complex, competitive and costly.
Students today have many more layers of experience and awareness than we did —and different needs— in a less predictable social and economic environment. Marketing has complicated the school evaluation process. As you sort through the myriad of websites, brochures and videos, you may find it hard to accurately assess the differences that can positively or negatively influence your child.
Our role at Bertram Educational Consultants is to help students and their families navigate through this new educational world, as their unbiased advocate, and discover and attain the best academic, extracurricular and social match. We work with the full spectrum of students facing junior and secondary boarding school and college and graduate school choices — including average, gifted and talented students, underachievers and students with special needs.
We believe that the student's educational needs and aspirations, within reason, should always come first, and the direction we collectively take should focus on what will help make those needs and aspirations a reality.
