About DMV Private Prep
A complete platform helping DMV-area families navigate the private high school admissions process with confidence.
Our Mission
Applying to private high school in the DMV can feel overwhelming, specifically for 7th and 8th graders applying to 9th grade. Families face a fragmented landscape of school options, opaque admissions criteria, and an expensive consulting industry that puts expert guidance out of reach for most.
DMV Private Prep was built to change that. We combine verified school data with modern AI to give every family the tools they need: personalized school recommendations, Safety/Match/Reach categorization, test preparation, and strategic guidance, all in one platform, at a fraction of the cost of a private consultant.
Built by People Who Know the DMV
Our team understands the DMV private high school landscape firsthand. We've navigated the admissions process as students, parents, and educators across Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia. That local expertise informs everything we build, from the schools in our database to the advice our Private School Advisor provides.
We're a small, focused team of engineers, educators, and data specialists committed to making private high school admissions more transparent and accessible for every family in the region.
