Secondary School Fairs and Open Houses, Fall 2016

Secondary School Fairs and Open Houses, 2016-2017

Meet your Future School!

Private secondary school fairs, expos, and open houses are great ways to “meet n’ greet” school representatives or sample school programs and campuses. Each event welcomes parents and students, but neither can or should be substituted for a class day tour and interview. Fairs conveniently gather 50-100 school representatives in a single location. Expos include educational sessions on such topics as testing and financial aid. Open Houses are held by individual schools to showcase students and programs, and they often offer opportunities to tour campuses. Early fall Open Houses can serve as previews of a school while late fall and winter dates expand what you learn at a personal interview appointment in the fall.
