One of my favorite aspects of working at McMillan Education is witnessing how our innovative Owls Nest™ platform and WISE Method® empower us to truly live our values. Here, technology isn’t just a tool, it’s a thoughtfully integrated part of our mission to provide warm, personalized educational guidance.
McMillan’s own Owl’s Nest™ platform is a powerful organizational resource. It streamlines communication, centralizes important information, and helps families and consultants stay on track throughout what can otherwise be an overwhelming process. But what excites me the most is how this technology enables our approach to be more human. With logistics handled efficiently, we have more space to focus on what matters most: nurturing authentic relationships with students and their families.
Our signature WISE Method® exemplifies this balance beautifully. Grounded in our collective wisdom and years of nuanced experience, it fosters honest conversations and individualized discovery. While technology helps us manage details, it’s our empathy, deep knowledge, and commitment to understanding each student’s unique story that guide our work.
Before joining the McMillan Education team a little over a year ago, I worked in independent school admissions and often collaborated with McMillan consultants and families. I was always struck by how knowledgeable, attentive and supportive the consultants were. Now, from the inside, I see how tools like the Owl’s Nest™ empower our team to be even more present. The efficiency and clarity that our platform provides gives consultants the freedom to do what they do best: support, listen, and guide families through this important journey. We can easily go that extra mile.
At McMillan, innovation and the human touch do not compete with one another — they enhance each other. By leaning on the right technologies, we create space for the kind of guidance that truly makes a difference. Every interaction becomes an opportunity to blend cutting-edge technological support with the wisdom of genuine, personal connection.
I feel truly fortunate to say I am a McMillan Education Consultant because everyday I get to be my authentic self helping students and their families find their best fit school! McMillan Education creates the kind of guidance every family deserves.
