How should my child prepare for the National Cathedral School admissions interview?

The NCS interview is a way for the school to learn more about your child’s personality and interests—not just her grades. Encourage her to talk about what she enjoys, her goals, and why she’s excited about NCS. Help her understand the school’s values, like leadership, kindness, and curiosity, and think about how she fits in. Practicing questions like “What are you proud of?” or “What do you like to learn?” can help. But she doesn’t need to memorize answers. Being honest, confident, and enthusiastic matters more than having perfect answers. NCS wants students who are thoughtful and excited to learn and grow.
