In Part 2 of this conversation, MacKenzie and Alpha’s Director of Admissions, Cara Wilkinson, turn their focus to the application and admissions process at Alpha. Cara walks through how families typically move from initial curiosity to enrollment, what the school looks for beyond traditional markers, and why some parents end up saying no to Alpha. The conversation also offers practical guidance for parents navigating school decisions more broadly, including questions to ask, tradeoffs to consider, and how to evaluate whether any learning environment is truly serving their child- whether or not Alpha is part of their path.
