Does the Calhoun School interview parents?

Yes, The Calhoun School includes parent or guardian conversations as part of its admissions process. These discussions vary based on the applicant’s grade level:

Applicants to Young 3’s through 4th Grade:

• Parent/Guardian Conversations: During the child’s visit to Calhoun, parents or guardians engage in an in-person conversation with a member of the admissions team. This meeting provides an opportunity to discuss the family’s educational values and aspirations, ensuring alignment with Calhoun’s philosophy.

Applicants to 5th through 12th Grade:

• Parent/Guardian Conversations: Parents or guardians can choose between an in-person conversation during the campus visit or a virtual meeting via Zoom. If a family has multiple children applying, only one parent/guardian conversation is necessary.

These conversations are integral to Calhoun’s holistic admissions approach, allowing the school to understand each applicant’s unique qualities and ensuring a mutual fit between the student, their family, and the Calhoun community.
