Admissions Events

Our admissions events are thoughtfully designed to give prospective families an authentic look at life at New Roads. Whether you're exploring our classrooms, meeting students and teachers, or learning more about our educational philosophy, each program offers a unique opportunity to experience the people, relationships, and learning that define our community.

We also recognize that every family's schedule and capacity to attend events is different. Participation in admissions events is not required as part of the admissions process and will not impact an admissions decision. These opportunities are offered simply to help you gather information, ask questions, and determine whether New Roads is the right school for your family. We invite you to attend the events that best fit your interests and schedule.
