Parent FAQ

What are common interview questions?

Without official reports, specific questions are unconfirmed. Typically, child interviews include self-introduction, following instructions, and group play; parent interviews ask about school choice and family education. Check the school website or call the school for past admission details.

Do we need to prepare Buddhist knowledge?

While the school is Buddhist, the interview may not test deep knowledge. Simple awareness of values like compassion and good deeds is helpful. Emphasize good behavior and manners. For accurate information, review the school's religious curriculum on their website.

What should parents avoid in the interview?
