About
Victoria "Tory" Dodge
My exposure
to boarding school started at the young age of five when I
attended a junior boarding school as a day student at Rumsey
Hall School in Connecticut. It continued as a boarding
student at The Mary C. Wheeler School in Providence where I
attended high school. At my initial school interviews,
I remember looking at the Admissions Director thinking that
that would be as a job I would really like to have!
Little did I know that after I had finished my degree at the
University of Denver and had been a Peace
Corp Teacher/volunteer in Ethiopia that I would actually
become one. It took a few years to get there
as I
started out as a teacher and houseparent at a junior
boarding school. I progressed to the role of
Admissions Director and eventually to the Co-Directorship of
the school. My next moves were
to the secondary school level where I was the Director of
Admissions and then I became a marketing and admissions
consultant. For ten years I worked with over sixty
boarding schools traveling in the
United States,
Canada and Europe.
Learning is
a life long occupation and seeing is believing. For
the past fifteen years I have spent an average of one week a
month visiting schools and programs, taking courses or
attending conferences. Not
only do I enjoy keeping up with my profession, but also as a
member of The Independent Educational
Consultant Association it is an expectation.

I
love what I do and am very pleased to be a resource
for the island. |
My presence
in Bermuda began in 1992 when I started to offer
Boarding
School Fairs to the general public on the island. For
the past two years my services as an educational consultant
have been available as an affiliate of Benedict Associates,
a counseling and
employee assistance resource for Bermuda.
