Thoughtful preparation. Lasting growth.
The Hermitage was founded on a simple belief: the strongest college applications grow naturally from years of intellectual curiosity, academic excellence, and meaningful engagement.
We work with students throughout high school to strengthen the skills that matter most — from standardized testing and academic achievement to college essays and long-term planning. Every student receives individualized guidance designed to meet them where they are and help them grow with confidence.
Students our founder has taught and advised have earned admission to highly selective institutions including MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, Brown, Northwestern, the University of Chicago, Washington University in St. Louis, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and the University of Washington.
Our approach is practical, disciplined, and personal. We emphasize steady improvement, honest feedback, and authentic achievement, helping students build not only stronger applications, but stronger foundations for success in college and beyond.
