The K-12 Interview in Detail
Structured behavioral-style interview
Behavioral interview questions focus on past experience and facilitate interesting conversations. Rather than testing knowledge in any particular area, the interview questions are designed to help admissions officers learn more about personality, interests, and the way the applicant approaches challenges.
*In some circumstances the reflective question may be asked in the interviewee’s native language.
**During your free speech section, we suggest you talk about topics like: Why you like the idea of boarding school. Why you want to study in a different country. How you’re prepared to live and learn far from home. How you can make your prospective school a better place. Things you really love to do or are passionate about. A time when things didn’t go well, and what you learned. A tough time in your family that you overcame. A time when you were really proud of yourself. What makes you work hard and stay focused. What makes you different from others your age.
