Visiting Wakefield School is the best way to get to know our community.
-
A visit to the school is one of the best ways for you and your child to see it firsthand; for this reason campus tours are a required step in the process. Older students may also attend one of our popular visiting days. To make an appointment for a tour and visit, please call 540-253-7600.
