You’re not alone in feeling the pressure.
Private school interviews can feel overwhelming — not just for your child, but for you as a parent.
You want your child to walk into that room calm, confident, and prepared.
And you want to know that you, as a parent, are showing up in the best possible way too — poised, supportive, and informed.
But let’s be honest:
Most families are left guessing.
What do admissions officers really want to hear?
How do you help your child be genuine without sounding scripted?
And what should you say — or avoid saying — in your part of the process?
That’s where the vault comes in.
With expert guidance from a former Private School Dean of Admissions, you’ll walk into that interview knowing exactly what to expect, what to say, and how to stand out — naturally, confidently, and authentically.

Here is a Sneak Peek at some content included in the Mock Interview section:
(Interviewer: Ask one question at a time. After each answer, use coaching prompts as needed before moving to the next question.)
"Tell me a little bit about yourself. What are some things you really enjoy doing?"
(Purpose: Icebreaker, personal interests)
"What's your favorite subject in school right now, and what makes it interesting to you?"
(Purpose: Academic interest, genuine curiosity)
"Can you tell me about a time you faced a challenge in school, maybe a difficult project or a subject you struggled with? How did you handle it?"
(Purpose: Problem-solving, resilience, learning from difficulty)
With the vault, you not only get the questions to ask but also the prompts to allow you to dig deeper to get to the heart of what an interviewer is looking for from your child (and you!)

Let’s make that happen!
The Private School Interview Vault is a comprehensive, self-paced digital course designed to prepare students (grades 5–12) and their parents for private school interviews. It includes expert-led video lessons, printable guides, mock interview scripts, question banks, and coaching prompts — all crafted by a former private school Dean of Admissions with 20 years of experience.
Not at all. While it’s built with highly selective schools in mind, the strategies, tools, and confidence-building resources apply to any private school admissions interview. Whether your child is applying to a day school, boarding school, faith-based academy, or arts-focused program — they’ll benefit from this preparation.
Most families complete the student-facing modules in about 1–2 hours total, broken into short lessons. However, we recommend allowing a few days to a week for practice, review, and mock interviews. Everything is designed to be flexible, so you can move at your own pace.
That’s exactly why we built this Vault. Many students don’t naturally “shine” in interviews — but with the included coaching prompts, confidence boosters, and mock interview blueprints, even quiet or anxious kids can find their voice. We focus on authentic communication, not memorized answers.
No. Our approach prioritizes authenticity and self-awareness. Rather than giving your child lines to memorize, we teach them how to reflect thoughtfully, answer questions naturally, and express who they are with clarity and confidence.
Yes. We include a full lesson and guide specifically for parents — covering what to expect in your own admissions conversations, how to avoid sending mixed messages, and how to present your family’s story in a thoughtful, aligned way.
Nope — it's 100% on-demand. Once you purchase, you’ll get instant access to all videos, downloads, and resources. You can start the same day and revisit materials as many times as you’d like.
Because this is a digital product delivered in full upon purchase, we do not offer refunds. However, the Vault has helped countless families feel significantly more prepared and confident — and we believe it will do the same for you.
To preserve the privacy of former students and institutions, the creator of The Vault has chosen to remain anonymous. However, they bring over 20 years of private school admissions experience to this work — including roles as Dean of Admissions at one of the most competitive schools in the country.
