"Don and Sarah have done an amazing job growing their boarding, college and graduate consulting business from a Boston-based firm to an international powerhouse. I've referred many students to them throughout the years because they take a personal interest in every family, and that's highly unusual these days."
"I remember being nervous as I entered what was then the Howland & Spence office in Boston to do some testing and begin to prepare my school search. Thirty years later I returned to McMillan Education to seek the same excellent guidance for my son that I had experienced. After his school search, we signed on for college admission work and my daughter also benefitted from their services. We feel very blessed to have been at the receiving end of such excellent, thoughtful, caring guidance, and their specialized services has meant that all our family's goals have been supported through this one special practice truly at the top of their field."
