Cammie @ Campus Direction is the GOAT. I mean it. Seriously. A kinder, more genuine, more helpful, more knowledgeable, more connected, harder working educational consultant you will not find, no matter where and how hard you look. Her service is invaluable. Is it pricey to hire an educational consultant? Yes. But with Cammie, do you get your value x infinity? Also yes! I truly don’t think I could have navigated the boarding school application process for my daughter without her. I was a typical stressed and clueless “first timer” and I felt like I was in over my head and had no idea where to even begin. Enter Cammie. She knows everything about every school, and if you happen to have a question she doesn’t already know the answer to, she will use her plethora of contacts to find the answer before you can blink twice. I was, I’m pretty sure, on the upper end of the “annoying” scale as far as clients go, but she never made me feel that way. For reference, we visited 10 schools and applied to 8, 3 of which we applied to AFTER THE DEADLINE, which we were only able to do because of Cammie, we saved nearly all of our essay writing for the last few weeks before the deadline (I do not recommend this tactic, lol), and had about 1.1 million questions about every single tiny little detail along the way. Yeah. And there’s more, but you haven’t got all day. Do it. Just hire her. You will not regret it. She will hold your hand as much or as little as you need, answer your zillions of questions, take the time to get to know you and your amazing kid, advocate tirelessly on your behalf, and see you across the finish line. Oh, and not for nothing, but my daughter got into all EIGHT schools that she applied to, most of which were really top schools. Coincidence? We’ll never know. ;)

What a pleasure it was working with, and getting to know, Cammie Bertram of Campus Direction! Our son knew early on that he wanted to attend boarding school and we began working with Cammie when he was in 7th grade. As parents, we went to public High School, so we felt like we were flying blind in looking at boarding schools prior to meeting Cammie. Cammie was invaluable in educating us on the wide variety of opportunities, the qualities, cultures and unique personality that every school has. From assisting with interview strategies, to making sure the schools have a good understanding of your child prior to visits, to helping with essays and applications, Cammie does it all. After a long journey of visits, interviews and essays, our son got into many schools, including his top choices. We were able to narrow it down to 2 schools and were nervous about the final decision. Cammie told us we would just know after revisiting. She was right! The final choice was obvious to us and our son and we have so much confidence that he has found the right new “home” for his next 4 years. I can’t imagine what it would have been like, or where he would have ended up if it weren’t for Cammie. Cammie! from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much, you are amazing.

Cammie and Campus Direction were wonderful to work with. Cammie made the process seamless and was always available to offer guidance and answer any questions we had along the way. Her knowledge and expertise is unmatched. We couldn’t have been happier and recommend her wholeheartedly!

A++++++ Experience!

Cammie Bertram and Campus Direction forever changed our family's life for the better. In researching boarding school options for our son, Cammie knew what questions to ask of us, listened and delivered. She opened our eyes to new possibilities and guided us through every step of the boarding school application process. I would recommend Cammie and Campus Direction over and over. She is truly a gem. A++++++

Cammie was a pleasure to work with. She engaged directly with our son throughout the process, including talking with him about what he was looking for in a school, coaching him on interview techniques, and providing a very helpful set of fresh eyes and good advice on his essays. She was always available, both to him via text and to us through email, and gave us helpful steers on how we as parents could support our son during the application process. He’s going to his top choice school, and we’re happy to recommend Cammie to any family looking for help and support in finding the best fit for their child.

Five stars all the way. Period.

There we were, in 2022 with our 12 year-old son seeking for the next best step in his academic journey. We knew we were a little bit early (or so we thought) but wanted to start thinking ahead…

Our family has enjoyed the privilege of Cammy’s support for years. It is rare to find a professional whose passion runs as deep as her depth of experience. Her community respects and values her insights.

After hearing our situation, it turned out that her instincts we're correct and after careful diligence, we ended up understanding why her recommendations were sport on.

Thank you, Cammie!

We feel so fortunate to have had Cammie in our corner during our exploration in finding the perfect fit for our daughter. With so many options, it is terribly overwhelming to know the best decision for your child and your family. After extensive talks and guidance, Cammie gave us a road map that was manageable and clear. We are overjoyed with our daughter's placement and could not have done without Campus Direction.

We are grateful to Cammie Bertram for the expert advice and support she provided during our three sons' boarding school application processes.

Cammie brings deep knowledge of schools' cultures and curricula, as well as sincere, longstanding relationships with faculty and staff. She is kind, caring, and committed to helping each child find the right fit -- which, in our case, meant three separate schools.

We could not recommend Cammie/Campus Direction more highly!

Cammie came highly recommended and we were very happy with the end result. Our child applied in late March, way past all the deadlines and managed to get into multiple schools with Cammie's help. She was AMAZING! Helped us figure out our list of schools, connected us to the schools and helped us through the process. Her insight on all the schools was extremely valuable especially since we didn't know much about east coast boarding schools. Can't recommend her enough!

I am a psychiatric physician who has worked with thousands of young adults experiencing depression, anxiety, substance misuse and complicated family dynamics. In my experience, there is no one more qualified or competent and compassionate than Cammie Bertram at CampusDirection in helping families navigate the treatment, educational, and community support aspects of a full-service program for students in need of extra help. She is nuanced in her assessment and approaches every situation with the utmost professionalism and insight.
If one of my family members ever needed an Educational Consultant, I would engage Cammie Bertram if I could. That is the highest endorsement I can possibly offer to any professional.

We couldn’t of done this journey without Cammie Bertram at Campus Direction-
Her experience and vision for finding the right fit for our child was invaluable. She is a leader in her field and very well regarded by every school we met with.

What if you could find an educational consultant with true expertise, decades of experience, strong relationships at competitive schools, and the warmth of a close friend? You would then have Cammie Bertram - since there is no one else like her! We have worked with her twice with two very different kids and her help exceeded all expectations. Both kids found acceptance at great boarding schools that were an amazing fit for each.

Our family’s experience with Cammie Bertram and her firm was exceptional. She came into our life as we were contemplating new opportunities for our daughter and she became a guide, an encourager and an advocate. Her knowledge married to her deep relationships across so many schools make her invaluable. She helped us curate a list of fantastic schools, held our hand in the process and used her clout and respect to make our daughter’s introduction to these schools nothing short of wonderful. Our final result was more than we could have imagined. In the final analysis, she and her company became our champion and cheered us every step of the way. Our family will always be grateful!

Cammie came to us highly recommended and outperformed all expectations. While Cammie’s guidance throughout was invaluable, perhaps her greatest talent is her ability to connect with the families she works with and in doing so, becoming their biggest advocate. The way her peers and colleagues light up when mentioning her is a testament to the respect they have for her. Cammie combines those longstanding relationships with a keen understanding of each family/candidate to curate a list of schools, some of which we might not have otherwise considered. We could not be happier with the outcome and are lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Cammie.

Cammie provided exceptional advice and support and assisted our son through an application process that ended in true success. She is thorough, knowledgeable, and so completely committed to the process that the parent and child feel utterly supported every step of the process. She also has a unique understanding of the academic landscape that offers a tremendous advantage to families.

Going through the application journey with Cammie was an unforgettable experience. In moments of confusion and anxiety, Cammie was always there with us, providing valuable advice and boosting our confidence. Our questions were always answered in the most timely manner. We are grateful to have Cammie's guidance along the way!

What a gem! Cammie Bertram has the experience and close connections to make the school search process both personally focused for the student and less stressful for the whole family. She has a remarkable, up to date grasp of each school to help identify fit, and she genuinely cares about her students’ success, both during the search process and afterwards. Cammie also has a wide network of close associates to pull in regarding mental health, educational testing, and other supports where needed. Representatives at every one of our schools raved about working with Cammie, and her recommendation of our child then added extra emphasis in their decisions. We found a great fit and would absolutely work with her again.

An absolute treasure in the field of educational consultancy, Cammie Bertram’s enormous expertise, professional guidance and unique gift to discover the best attributes and strength’s in our daughter led to the perfect educational consultant experience as she led the path through our daughters’ school search journey.
