Thank you to everyone that came out for today’s PW Mini Interview Day! 🧩 We had 100 grade 7s come through our doors, sharing stories of their love for crafts, horseback riding, chess, squash, and so much more. So many bright eyed and eager kids — this will be a tough decision for us to make as we narrow down our Class of 2031 to just 28 students.
Reminder to all that the first round of offers will go out on on Wednesday, February 11, 2026. The deadline to accept these offers is by noon on Friday, February 13, 2026.
