How to prepare for The Knox School admissions interview?

The Knox interview is their chance to shine beyond the report card—think of it as their “tell us your story” moment! Encourage them to relax, be themselves, and chat confidently about the subjects that make their eyes light up, their hobbies that make them tick, and those personal experiences that have shaped who they are. A savvy applicant can also articulate why Knox specifically excites them and how they see themselves adding to the school’s awesome vibe. Doing a little Knox research beforehand so they can ask thoughtful questions shows they’re genuinely interested (brownie points!). Practicing common interview questions (“What makes you a great student?”) can help build confidence, but remind them that being genuine and enthusiastic is way more impactful than a perfectly rehearsed answer.
