Technology Tools We Use
Transparency about the platforms and tools that support your family's admissions journey.
At Sendero Education, we use a curated set of technology tools to deliver the highest quality admissions guidance. Every tool is selected for its ability to improve organization, communication, research, and the overall client experience.
Below is a current list of the platforms we use, organized by function. This page is referenced in Section 13 of our Client Terms of Service and is updated as our tools evolve.
This page was last updated: February 2026. We reserve the right to add, remove, or replace specific tools within the categories below, provided that replacements serve a substantially similar function. Material changes will be communicated to active clients.

Our Commitments on AI Use
AI never writes student work. We do not use AI tools to draft, write, or produce essays, personal statements, or any application materials submitted as the student's own work.
​
We minimize personal data. When using AI tools, we take commercially reasonable steps to anonymize or remove personally identifiable information before inputting any data.
​
Human review on everything. All AI-generated outputs are reviewed by our team before being used or shared. AI supports our work — it doesn't replace professional judgment.
​
Transparency first. This page exists so you always know exactly what tools we use. If you have questions about any tool listed here, we're happy to discuss it.
Questions about any of these tools? Reach out to us at contact@senderoeducation.com and we'll be happy to walk through any of our technology practices with you.
