If you are planning to send your child to top boarding schools in India, then get ready to groom him/her before taking the final step. Your child will be interviewed on many grounds to see if he/she can be a good fit for their institution. Hence, it’s time that you prepare them for their future. Below mentioned are some of the boarding school admission questions that might help your child deal with an interviewer.

Your family background.

This is perhaps the most basic question that is being asked during the interview, still, kids often can’t deal with it in the right manner and give myriad answers. Parents must tell their kids to adopt a simple approach by giving a short and crisp answer to such questions and try to engage the interviewer by talking about the members of their family and the special characteristic any one of the members has in the family.

Why do you want to join this institution?

The management would like to know from the child whether he/she has the instinct to join the school or has been forced by the parent to join just any residential school in India. This will also help the staff understand whether the child has correct knowledge about the morals for which the school stands for or is unprepared. Parents should guide children to know about the school from the school’s website and brochure and tell them how the school will benefit them in their learning and personality grooming.

What are your hobbies and activities you indulge in your free time?

This is another very common question that is often asked by a student. These days’ the majority of kids spend their free time playing video games or surfing the net. They don’t realize that outdoor games and indulging in a fun activity like painting, dance, music, theatre, and sports enhances one’s personality and give another dimension to their personality traits. Parents should encourage children to participate in at least one or other such activity so that the kids can proudly join and become active member of the club when he becomes a part of the institution.
