Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia,
Downey School Consulting provides a variety of virtual educational services. We provide comprehensive support in navigating the District of Columbia Public and Charter School Common Lottery process including explaining how it works and putting together a list that will maximize your chances of getting a spot. We also help with unusual situations such as relocation, moving in the middle of the year, holding a child back, and dealing with problems in the current school.
Special Needs
Downey School Consulting also helps families with children who have special needs ranging from undiagnosed issues that need extra consideration in choosing a school to IEP’s and 504 Plans. We can help figure out the best public school options for the needs and can help determine if the offered services are sufficient for your child.
We help with learning about and applying to private schools across the DMV including typical and special education schools. As a former private school Admissions Director, E.V. Downey has a unique insight into what schools are looking for and how to prepare your applicant for success.
Relocating
Looking to buy a home or rent an apartment? We can help you determine what school(s) will be the best fit for your family. We offer comprehensive services within the District and an overview of options in the suburban districts.
After years of in person classroom teaching and tutoring, E.V. has expanded her practice to online tutoring. She offers Orton Gillingham sessions, executive functioning coaching, high school placement test preparation, general elementary school educational support and enrichment, and more. Because of her background and education in special education and the fact that she raised and homeschooled a son with autism, E.V. specializes in working with kids who present with additional challenges beyond typical learning differences.
