Does Pilgrim School have parent interviews?

Yes, Pilgrim School does conduct parent interviews as part of its admissions process—particularly for applicants to Preschool through Elementary School.

For younger applicants (Early Education and Elementary), the interview is typically with both parents/guardians and an admissions team member. These interviews are generally conducted via Zoom or in person, depending on your preference and availability.

The goal is to get to know your family, understand your child’s background and needs, and determine how well your educational values align with Pilgrim’s mission. They might ask:

• Why you’re interested in Pilgrim School
• What you’re looking for in a school community
• How you support your child’s learning at home
• What kind of learner your child is

The interview is friendly and conversational, not high-pressure. It’s a chance for both sides to learn about each other. For Middle and High School applicants, the focus shifts more to the student, but the school may still want to speak briefly with parents during the admissions process.
