In a few short hours we will have the pleasure of welcoming the alumni and alumna back to campus! It is a time to celebrate memories and create new ones.
I hope you have had the opportunity to schedule a few visits to schools by now. A great deal of your research about school communities will be online as well.
Here are some tips:
Check the news feed.
Most schools will update for their internal and external audiences new events that have just taken place on campus.
Read about the campus life.
This give a sense of the day to day feel of a school. Check the online calendar for upcoming events that could bring you back to campus.
Discover what other parts of the community are highlighted.
Arts, athletics, diversity, sustainability, clubs and service learning are all wonderful aspects of independent schools.
What are graduates doing now?
Most schools have either college counseling information or a list of schools their graduates attend. How would your child be counseled as they enter the next stage of their education?
Taking the time to research a school online is so important because this will be their new home away from home.
Wising you all a wonderful week!
Sincerely,
Katherine
