Education Wizard is an educational consulting firm based in Newport Beach, California. Dedicated to Internet delivery of information, advice, and inspiration to both teens and parents alike, the company hosts most of its resources on two web properties: Boarding School Wizard and Troubled Teens Wizard.
Seeing that a vast array of educational opportunities exist in the United States and Canada, Gator Capital Holdings, LLC (a venture capital business located in Atlanta) funded Education Wizard as part of its specialization in online lead generation and advertising solutions for K-12 boarding schools and post-secondary institutions. The two domains, BoardingSchoolWizard.com and TroubledTeensWizard.com, facilitate Education Wizard's mission of offering families helpful education-related information online.
"Education Wizard Network was established to inform and educate students, young adults and their families regarding the many resources available to educate and care for them. Choosing the proper student educational environment, therapeutic school or residential treatment facility to care for a child or troubled teenager in need first requires a significant amount of research, coupled with trust. At Education Wizard Network, we try to arm families with as much information as possible about their numerous educational options so they can make the best decision for their child or teen." -- Kurt Robertson, CEO
Boarding School Wizard
Whether a student is of the elementary school age, middle- or junior-high, or at the college preparatory level, a wide range of educational, athletic, and cultural opportunities can be found in a residential academic setting. Boarding school, while a major step and decision, can offer advantages of smaller class sizes, teaching faculty with advanced degrees, a rigorous academic curriculum, and potentially lifelong bonds and friendships formed by living together with school classmates. All of these attributes have been linked to professional success in adulthood and personal satisfaction. Because the boarding school setting provides around-the-clock educational stimuli, boarding school graduates tend to outperform their peers who enter college from public and private day schools.
Troubled Teens Wizard
This site helps parents learn more about boarding schools that have a therapeutic focus, 24-hour treatment centers, wilderness camps, boot camps, and alternative schools for troubled teens and transitional independent living programs. One may search for single-sex or co-educational school programs that may range from short-term treatment centers to long-term residential boarding facilities, or programs that merge academics with therapy.
