An open house includes a campus tour and meetings with teachers, staff, and students. Hosting open houses is a typical practice among schools.

  A school visit offers a firsthand look at the environment, culture, and daily life of the school. It provides an opportunity to ask questions, observe interactions, and verify your expectations directly. It's a vital part of an informed choice.
