Should I be listing achievements, or is this more about storytelling?

Think storytelling, not resume-writing. Achievements are great (and impressive!), but at The Bay School, we’re eager for the story behind those shiny medals or trophies. Instead of simply stating your child won first place in something, tell us about the late nights, funny mishaps, or proud smiles along the way. Maybe your kid turned your garage into a science lab or gave a TED Talk to their stuffed animals. Those charming details bring their personality to life. Admissions teams love authenticity, and your anecdotes show the real, quirky, and wonderfully human side of your child—exactly who Bay wants to meet!
