“My experience with Brad could not have been better nor could it have led to a better result for my son who is currently enrolled at one of the premium boarding schools in the Northeast that also boasts a terrific hockey program.

At the onset, Brad’s process to narrow an overwhelming list of opportunities down to a manageable group that all provided reasonable change for a “fit” was an important start. His voluminous contacts, both on the hockey side and with admission departments were beyond expectations and opened every door we needed. His guidance about when important moments would arrive, and his counsel to our son during those key moments, were critical to both our family’s peace of mind , and for his ultimate decision about what to do. Lastly, and above all else, Brad’s effort to learn about our son as a person and hockey player and to become personally invested in his pursuit, as if it were his own son, can’t be quantified but it is surely what you get when you work with Brad. ”

“Brad’s experience and relationships in the prep school ecosystem were extremely valuable to us as we navigated the search and admissions process. He is well respected by both administrators and athletic coaches and provides clear insights and guidance at every step of the process. I would highly recommend Brad to anyone interested in attending a prep school.”

Having Brad D'Arco's experience of life on campus and in boarding school admissions offices was instrumental in helping us navigate the school selection and admissions processes. Brad took the time to get to know my husband and me and our son, Henry. He effectively prioritized and synthesized our family's criteria for academics and athletics and provided us with a list of prospective schools. Brad steered us through applications and interviews and followed up with admissions officers and coaches. Henry was initially lukewarm about a school Brad believed would be a great fit for him, but the school clicked for Henry on his revisit day. His transition to boarding school life has been seamless, and he LOVES it! We credit Brad for his in-depth knowledge of so many of the schools in New York and New England and his myriad professional relationships, with connecting Henry with the most suitable boarding school environment for his next four years. And beyond that, we appreciate that Brad has been responsive to concerns and questions that have arisen as we all adjust to this new life.
