Campus Visit Days

A visit day is the best way to experience Academy life. For local applicants, the visit day is a required component of our application process. While visit days vary depending on each day’s offerings, visiting students often have the opportunity to attend:

  • Our all-school Morning Meeting (where visiting students are introduced to our community by their host student)
  • Academic classes with one or multiple grades
  • (On Tuesdays and Thursdays) Studio Block classes
  • Lunch (visitors can have school lunch free of charge, or bring their own!)
  • An interview with our Director of Admissions or other staff member

After submitting an inquiry, schedule your visit by emailing or calling our Admissions Office at 413-339-4912 ext.119.
