Mock Days

Mock Days are special days (by appointment only) where prospective AHB students (& sometimes a few current AHB kiddos) come and participate in some fun, hands-on activities with AHB teachers. Though a Mock Day only lasts about two hours, it gives families and teachers a good indication of whether or not AHB is a good fit for a particular child.

We know that the idea of a Mock Day can be scary for young kids, and we strive to make these days full of fun - not pressure. Parents are welcome to hang out in our lobby during this time and chat with other parents, or in the classroom, as long as it's not a distraction to the kids. Going to school at Austin Home Base is definitely a "family venture." Parent participation and dedication are key in creating the community atmosphere that makes AHB so unique.

Parent Interviews

The parent interview is a comfortable, low-stress get-together attended by both parents of an applicant (if possible), Georgie, and a current AHB parent. Because families play such a special and valuable role at Austin Home Base, this is a good time to ensure that our program is a good fit for your family. In order for you to feel comfortable speaking freely about your child, we ask that children not attend these meetings, which generally last between forty-five minutes and an hour.

Feel free to bring a list of questions; we'd be happy to answer them! If your child is applying for the Beta, Gamma or Delta class, please bring your child's last report card or a sample of his/her work. If your child is applying for the Delta class, you will need to schedule a student interview in addition (which generally follows the parent interview).
