Student and Family Interviews

Student Interviews - The Student Interview is a required part of our admissions process for grades 6-12 and gives us the chance to learn more about you. Interviews will be conducted virtually for the 2021-22 academic year.

"Family" Interviews - Available for ECC and Elementary School applicants whom we have not met in person, these virtual sessions are an opportunity for our admissions staff to get to know your family and for you to ask any questions you may have about the school.

Both of these types of Interviews can be scheduled through your admissions checklist once an application has been started in our system.
