The goal of the Holton-Arms admissions process is to get to know your child better. One way we hope to understand your child's authentic self will be through a short video of their creation. This video is a time to share or show more about their personality and interests in a comfortable space. Some ideas could be to share a favorite hobby or sport, a passion, an experience, an example of artwork, recite a poem, or just tell us more about who they are.
