Why Interview Prep Matters
For competitive U.S. private schools, the interview is often the tie-breaker once grades and test scores look similar. Admissions teams use it to gauge curiosity, communication style, social-emotional readiness, and family fit. A polished, authentic interview can:
-
Broaden your admissible school list and scholarship leverage
-
Signal character strengths—resilience, empathy, leadership
-
Give parents a voice in the process and demonstrate shared values with the school
Because most schools schedule interviews only once per cycle, preparation ensures you seize that single opportunity.
What to Expect from the Interview
The shape of the interview changes with age—yet the goal is always the same: reveal genuine potential and cultural fit.
Early Childhood
(Pre-K–2)
Play-based observations and small-group “screenings” measure social-emotional milestones, language development, and the ability to transition between activities.

No matter the grade level, schools look for authentic self-expression, active listening, and alignment between student goals and campus culture.
