How should my child prepare for the Collegiate School admissions interview?

The interview is Collegiate’s chance to see if your child is as awesome in person as they are on paper. Tell them to just be themselves – their quirky, wonderful selves! Encourage them to chat confidently about the stuff they love learning about, their hobbies that make them tick, and those “aha!” moments that have shaped them. They should also have a good answer for “Why Collegiate?” and “What cool things will you bring to our amazing school?” Practice with some fun questions like, “If learning were a superhero, what powers would it have?” Being genuine and showing some real enthusiasm can leave a fantastic impression (way better than reciting a memorized script!).
