THE KEY QUALITY A $56K-A-YEAR NYC PRIVATE SCHOOL
The admissions director of a prestigious $56,000-a-year New York City private school has revealed what trait he looks for in applicants.
According to David Buckwald, the director in charge of selecting who is accepted to Avenues: The World School, he doesn’t prioritize intelligence, but rather a student’s “curiosity”.
Speaking to Business Insider, Buckwald said: “Since we look for a variety of qualities in a candidate, it’s hard to isolate one and say it is the most important.
According to the admissions director, curiosity is important because it is what leads students to “pursue their developing interests and passions” as well as make connections and eventually implement what they have learned in the real world.
