Saturday Campus Visits for Families Who Have Applied
No exploration of our school would be complete without an in person look at the school. We will be offering several Saturdays for families who have applied to visit our campus. Families and their applicants will be guided through our building (in small, COVID safe groups) to see classrooms, outdoor spaces, our theater, the new preschool (for those interested), and more. This event is not an open house, but rather a chance for a look inside.
