How should my child prepare for the York Prep admissions interview?

The interview is a chance for York Prep to get to know your child beyond grades and test scores. Encourage them 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. They should also learn a little about York Prep beforehand so they can explain why they want to go there. Practicing common interview questions, like “What do you like about your current school?” or “What are your favorite activities?” can help them feel more comfortable. The key is to be honest, confident, and engaged. It’s not a test—just a conversation to see if the school is a good fit.
