What are the specific personal qualities and characteristics that Head-Royce School looks for in middle and high school applicants?

While having good grades is a good starting point, getting into Head-Royce takes more than As on a report card. The school wants to build a community of engaged and thoughtful students, so they’re looking for applicants who are honest, genuinely loves learning, and take responsibility for their actions. Being respectful and understanding of others is a big plus too. They also value students who are good team players and can work well with others. Because these traits can’t be measured, they have to shine through in how your child interacts during the interview, what their teachers say about them in the recommendation letters, and the stories they tell in their personal statement and writing sample. Admissions officers would want to know the kind of person your child is and how they can contribute to the school community.
