ADMISSIONS

Outside of school events, like open houses, you can schedule a tour of the school (visit website). If arranged on a regular school day, a tour may provide a realistic view of school life.

• Why it matters

  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.
