Parents and guardians have the opportunity to move between grade-level and specialist classrooms to speak directly with faculty, engage with student work, and see the environments in which that work was made. Teachers will be in their rooms for the full hour, ready to walk you through daily rhythms, curriculum, and whatever you most want to ask. Families with children in more than one grade, or a specialist they particularly want to meet, can spend their time where it matters most to them.
