Case Study: Holy Innocents' Episcopal School achieves a secure, engaging virtual admissions process with Kira Talent

Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School creates a secure virtual admissions process designed to help kids to shine

Holy Innocents' Episcopal School, the largest parish day school in the country serving PK3–12, needed to replicate its holistic, one‑on‑one admissions interviews remotely while giving parents peace of mind. The school turned to Kira Talent and its asynchronous assessment platform (timed video and written responses) to build a secure, age‑appropriate virtual admissions experience.

Kira Talent helped Holy Innocents' create custom, grade‑level assessments with pre‑recorded teacher prompts, timed responses, clear competencies and rubrics, and reviewer tools including inter‑rater reliability metrics. The solution delivered a seamless transition to remote interviews—allowing applicants as young as third grade to complete assessments independently—provided deeper and more consistent insights for admissions decisions, reduced opportunities for coaching, increased flexibility for busy families, and improved fairness and reviewer consistency; the school plans to continue using Kira Talent moving forward.
