How should my child prepare for the Hoosac School interview?

The Hoosac interview is your child’s chance to show their awesome personality beyond the transcript (think of it as their superhero origin story moment!) Encourage them to just be their genuine, thoughtful selves and chat about the stuff that lights their fire, their academic dreams, and why the idea of a boarding school adventure at Hoosac makes them do a happy dance. Practicing some common interview curveballs like “What makes you tick?” or “What do you do for fun when you’re not saving the world (or doing homework)?” can build some serious confidence. Also, doing a little Hoosac homework beforehand so they can ask some smart questions shows they’re genuinely interested. Remind them it’s a two-way street—they’re also checking out if Hoosac is the right fit for them. Authenticity and enthusiasm are their secret weapons!
