The group tour usually begins at the admissions office to meet with the Director or an admissions representative.   The Director or admissions representative conducts an information session detailing the school's admissions criteria. During this time, students have the opportunity to ask questions, receive materials, and either pick up or drop off applications or information about special programs. The campus tour is usually the next portion of the school visit and typically includes a walk through of the campus, classrooms, student unions, and residence halls. Oftentimes, the group meets with students to gain real information on campus life, academics, services, and atmosphere.

It’s never too early for students and parents to start considering and preparing for college! Generally, a student should begin to visit colleges at any time during high school.  Our mission is to get the kids to think about college early, creating a college roadmap, as soon as they enter high school so they can stay focus throughout their high school years.
