A Window into the World of ÂÌñÉç
Shadow visits are a great way for an applicant to experience ÂÌñÉç. A half-day visit will give an applicant a window into the world of a ÂÌñÉç student. Applicants for admission will get an up-close and personal view into the ÂÌñÉç student community, the nature of the classroom, the student-teacher relationship, and experience first-hand opportunities to jump into a science experiment, draw, sketch, paint, dance, or play in the Orchestra. A shadow visit is one of the best ways to see if ÂÌñÉç is the right match.
You will be assigned your own Student Ambassador who will greet you and off you’ll go! You’ll move through a typical schedule to experience a “day in the life” as a ÂÌñÉç student. ÂÌñÉç offers both AM and PM shadow visits. AM Shadow visits begin at 8:15 a.m. and go through lunch ending at 12:40 p.m. PM shadow visits begin at 11:40 a.m., include lunch, and conclude at 3:30 p.m. Both options include two classes.
ÂÌñÉç is situated on a 41-acre campus with 10 buildings, so be prepared to get outside and enjoy our picturesque campus. On the morning of your shadow visit, remember to dress comfortably and in a manner that shows you’re ready to learn and engage with us. Additionally, if you are visiting during the winter months, it’s a good idea to bring a warm jacket as you’ll navigate the outdoor spaces while moving from building to building throughout the day. Bring a notebook and pen to take notes and make observations of your day, and feel free to bring a water bottle and/or snack.
Please note: ÂÌñÉç is a cellphone and device-free campus throughout the school day. We recommend that you leave these devices at home or with the Admission office.Â
