School Consultant
VICKY KESTON
ABOUT ME
Since 2010, I’ve been researching the school options in San Francisco, first the SFUSD lottery and later the independent schools. Starting in 2018, I've advised families on all things school, including applying to private schools, public school lottery strategy, and how to speak with your child's school about challenges your child is experiencing. My own children have attended our first choice public school and then moved to our favored private schools (K-8 and high school). I’ll work with you to create a customized plan of action to help your children optimize their school experience. Get in touch to learn more about my consulting approach.

My wife and I used Vicky's service, and it's been the best investment we have made. The process is so stressful, and she has been a godsend. She knows her stuff, and has given us a lot of insight. Like all parents, we just want the best education for our kids, and with her wisdom and knowledge, it helps us make a better informed decision for our daughter!

Vicky worked 1:1 with our daughter on her high school admissions essays, interviews, and school choice. Vicky has a deep understanding of school choice process and makes complicated issues manageable and accessible. She sees the whole student and identifies the best and most unique qualities of your child to help them stand out while remaining true to themselves. Vicky was responsive to all of our questions. We are happy to say our daughter received her first-choice school, and Vicky played a big part of the outcome.
