How can my child demonstrate “intellectual curiosity” and “strong character” in their application?

Showing Bishop’s your child’s “intellectual curiosity” and “strong character” doesn’t need grand gestures. For curiosity, think about their genuine interests. Do they devour books on dinosaurs? Build intricate Lego structures? Encourage them to talk about their passions in their personal statements or during the admissions interview. Mention projects they’ve independently pursued as these show their love of learning. 

For “strong character,” it’s about highlighting their everyday good deeds and values. Do they help siblings without being asked? Show empathy towards friends in need? Participate in school clubs with integrity? These actions, big or small, demonstrate their honesty, respect, and kindness. Recommendation letters from teachers or coaches can also illustrate these qualities through real-life examples. It’s about showcasing the good person your child already is, not striving for perfect achievements.
