Visit Our School
We understand choosing the right school for your child is an important decision. We welcome the opportunity to meet with you and your family in person to gain an understanding of your child’s needs and interests, and to share our school’s true experience. Tours are scheduled Monday–Thursday when school is in session; optimal start time is 9:00 am. A campus tour lasts approximately 60 minutes and provides parents with an opportunity to watch the teaching process unfold – in the classrooms, on the playing field, in the labs, and in the visual/performing arts’ studios.
To schedule an individual conversation and tour, please complete our inquiry form. If you have a question, please contact Jenni Beadle, Director of Admission.
