Here is a sampling of what families, students, and educators say about working with Cammie Bertram and about the launch of Campus Direction:
“Congratulations! The industry is so lucky to have you, and the breadth and focus of your practice seem so thoughtful and timely for what kids and families really need right now.” - School admission professional
“What an exciting adventure! I honestly can’t tell you how often we thank God for you and all you have done for our family.” - Parent
“I am so happy for you and marvel at your resilience and determination. The mark you left on the industry through leadership of your former firm is only part of your legacy. Off you go as a sole proprietor and good for you. I know that there are many more families that will benefit from your special touch.” - Fellow educational consultant
“You are a wonder and your client base and others through word of mouth will be the beneficiaries of your experience and wisdom. We know that first hand from the guidance which you gave us on our son.” - Parent
Returning to work as a sole practitioner, as she did from 1994-2012, Cammie is thrilled to be able to focus entirely on her true calling: providing sound, informed advice to students and families here and abroad, and guiding them through the boarding school admissions process.
Campus Direction™ offers college advising, career coaching, and emotional and spiritual growth counseling. These services, as well as tutoring and test preparation, are readily available through Cammie’s alignment with the most highly qualified professionals across the country and overseas.
Cammie is sincerely grateful to her colleagues and friends in both the traditional and therapeutic arenas for supporting her over the last three decades. She looks forward to deepening these relationships and developing new ones through Campus Direction™.
