Due to COVID, we are unable to offer an in-person shadow day. However, we are offering a virtual shadow hour. This would entail your child having a link to an advisory period as well as a favorite subject classroom experience. The advisory is a great, informal, way to meet their peers and the classroom experience is equally important so your child can see how the students interact with their teachers. Please reach out to the admissions office to schedule a virtual shadow hour. This is not an admissions requirement, it is optional.
We believe the best way to choose a school for you child/ren is to see it first hand — and we want to meet you! Therefore, a campus visit/tour is a required step in the admission process.
After completing your initial inquiry, you will be contacted by our admissions team to schedule a visit/tour. The best time to tour the school and visit classrooms is Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 2:30pm. However, the Admissions Office is open 8:00am until 4:00pm and can accommodate most schedules.
We recommend a Shadow Day for any rising 3rd through 12th grader interested in Wakefield School. This is an opportunity for your child/ren to experience Wakefield for a portion of the regular school day. They are assigned a "shadow buddy" who will show them around, introduce them to students and teachers, and give them a feel for what learning at Wakefield is like.
Before participating in a Shadow Day, the Admissions Application needs to be completed. Teacher recommendations and testing can be completed after their Shadow Day.
