Planning Ahead: how to schedule a shadow Day

Shadow day visits are scheduled through our Admissions Portal. Once you have submitted your application form, you will have access to a personalized checklist and interactive calendar of available dates from which to choose (please be aware that visitor spaces are limited per day in order to provide the best experience for our guests!).

Once your visit is confirmed, Mrs. Diane Dougherty, Family Outreach Coordinator, will reach out with all of the information you need to prepare for a successful day on campus. As we provide a personalized experience for student guests, we ask that you kindly schedule your visit at least five days in advance of your desired date.

These forms can be found on your Admissions Checklist in the Admissions Portal.

This form and accompanying instructions can be found on your Admissions Checklist in the Admissions Portal.

These optional forms can be found on your Admissions Checklist in the Admissions Portal. Parents may ask coaches, mentors, etc. to complete the form and send it back to our Admissions Office.
