How should my child prepare for The Calhoun School admissions interview?

The interview is a chance for the school to learn more about your child beyond test scores and grades. Encourage your child to be themselves and talk about what they enjoy—whether it’s a favorite subject, a hobby, or a school project they’re proud of. It helps if they know a little about Calhoun’s teaching style and can explain why they’d like to go there. Practicing simple questions like “What do you love about school?” or “What are your favorite activities?” can boost their confidence. The most important thing is to be honest, curious, and excited about learning. Calhoun values students who think creatively and enjoy hands-on experiences.
