Does the Silicon Valley International School interview parents?

Yes, Silicon Valley International School (INTL) interviews parents as part of the admissions process. After submitting the application, families are invited to schedule a parent conversation with a member of the admissions team. This meeting is a chance for the school to learn more about the student’s background, educational experiences, and family values. It also helps parents better understand INTL’s bilingual programs, International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, and community expectations.

The parent interview is informal and focuses on building a relationship, answering questions, and ensuring that the school and family share similar educational goals. These conversations typically happen alongside or shortly after the student visit or assessment. It’s an important step in INTL’s holistic admissions process, which looks beyond test scores and transcripts.
