1. Schedule a Shadow Day Visit for your Child.
Prospective students are strongly encouraged to "shadow" a current student during the school day for at least a half-day. "Shadows" will attend classes, meet teachers, coaches, fine arts teachers, as well as meet with someone from the admissions department during their shadow visit.

3. Attend a Prospective Parent Info Meeting

Attendance by at least one parent is required before an admission decision will be considered. Student attendance to the Prospective Parent Info Meeting is optional.
