* Entrance exams: Many private schools require students to take an entrance exam as part of the admissions process. These exams are designed to assess the student's academic ability and their readiness for the school's curriculum.
* Interviews: Some private schools also require students to participate in an interview as part of the admissions process. Interviews give the school a chance to get to know the student better and to assess their suitability for the school.
* Recommendations: Private schools often require students to submit letters of recommendation from teachers, counselors, or other adults who know the student well. Recommendations can help the school to get a better sense of the student's character and their academic and extracurricular achievements.
* Good academic standing: Most private schools require students to maintain a certain grade point average (GPA) in order to remain enrolled. Students who fall below the required GPA may be placed on academic probation or even dismissed from the school.
