Michelle Grappo, Michelle Grappo | Educational & Therapeutic Consultant of RNG International Educational Consultants

Michelle Grappo, M.A., Ed.M.

Principal Consultant

I have been an Educational and Therapeutic Consultant with RNG for over 15 years. With a background as a school psychologist, I work with students holistically, at the intersection of academic and social-emotional life. I partner with families on a range of placements, including traditional boarding schools, international options, mental health programming, summer planning, and beyond.

I served as a school psychologist in public and charter schools in New York City and Denver, Colorado. I am a member of the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP), as well as a professional member and longtime volunteer with IECA. I earned my Master’s of Education in School Psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University, and a Bachelor’s in History from the College of William and Mary. I am also a boarding school alum myself, having attended The Madeira School, a boarding school outside Washington, DC.

I served as the national therapeutic chair for IECA, periodically write for IECA’s newsletter “Insights,” and present regularly at professional conferences.

A dual citizen, I now divide my time between the US (visiting schools, of course!) and Turin, Italy. I love working with US-based students, as well as young global nomads.  I experienced firsthand the challenges and rewards of growing up overseas, and now offer a professional lens through which I understand the impact of global mobility on children and youth.

More personally, I am obsessed with my rescue dog, Penny, and my little niece, Olivia!
