How do I prepare my child for the Keys School interview?

The interview is a chance for the school to understand your child beyond academics. Encourage them to express their interests, experiences, and what excites them about learning. Practice casual conversations rather than scripted responses so they feel comfortable sharing their thoughts naturally. Common topics include favorite books, hobbies, problem-solving experiences, and teamwork skills. Remind your child to be themselves as Keys School values authenticity, curiosity, enthusiasm, and kindness. Parents may also have an interview, so be ready to discuss your child’s strengths and learning style. Approach the interview as a relaxed, engaging conversation to help your child feel comfortable and at ease.
