Choice Guides
School Visits and Open Houses
Visiting schools is the best way to see which school will be the “best fit” for you.
Many schools have at least one “open house” between October and December when you can for you to visit and ask questions. If you can’t make it to a school's scheduled “open house,” call the school and ask if you can visit at a more convenient time.
Many schools also have shadow days, where you can partner with a current student and attend classes to get a real feel for the school.
