GRS School Tours

Thank you for promoting Great River School to your friends and families!

We offer three ways for interested families to visit to learn more about the school: parent education evenings, school tours (during the day), and student shadowing. 

(1) Parent Education Evening - We have scheduled four upcoming Parent Education Evenings.  These evenings are for current and prospective parents and provide an opportunity for you to see the school and learn more about our educational program.  Each evening will focus on a different topic, but the general schedule will be as follows:

   5:30pm - 6:00pm       Student led tours of the school
   6:00pm - 6:20pm       Brief overview of the topic
   6:20pm - 7:15pm       Visit classrooms
   7:15pm - 7:30pm       Social time and opportunity to ask questions

(2)  School Tours - in November through March, we will hold school tours during the school day on Thursday mornings from 9 am to 10 am. Tours will be lead by a Great River School Ambassador and will include classroom visits.  You will also have an opportunity to meet with Sam O'Brien, Head of School, to get any questions you may have answered.

(3) Student Shadowing - If your prospective student (for grades 7-12) is interested in spending a school day (or partial day) shadowing a current Great River School student, we will be happy to schedule that visit.  Our school day begins at 8:30 am and ends at 3:10 pm.  We ask that you tell us a few days that you would be interested in setting up a shadow day.  

Please ask people to fill out this form to let us know they are planning to visit.  Feel free to do just one or all three options.  Please note that this does not serve your application to Great River School.  If you are interested in beginning the enrollment process, visit the enrollment page of the Great River School website to learn how to apply.
