ESSAY MUST HAVES FOR PRIVATE SCHOOL ADMISSIONS

If you are applying to private schools here is a list of things that your essay should contain:

-a clear understanding of why you like the school (try to express a stand out characteristic do not select 'typical' features like lunch, afterschool, etc)

-make the connection on how your family values are aligned to the schools

-express all the activities that your child has engaged in and place close attention to those that you have shown strong commitment to (ex: gymnastics for 2 years vs. listing a bunch of activities you did for one term)

-sign off in an optimistic manner not to pushy (ex. look forward to sharing more about our family with your school community)

Good luck!
