See what it’s like to be a Rambler for the day!

The best way to find out if the Prep Family is right for you is to experience a day in the life of a Rambler first-hand! All 8th grade students are invited to schedule a shadow visit, where you’ll spend a typical day at Prep attending classes with a current 9th grade student.

During your shadow visit, you’ll also have an opportunity to meet with specific teachers, activity leaders, and coaches upon request. Students are paired with a 9th grade student that they have specifically requested or a student with similar interests if they do not have a request for a specific host. Shadow visitors will get a taste of our school life and a FREE taste of our school cafeteria.

The following is some information that may be helpful when planning your shadow day.

• Visitation Times: Shadow visitors report to the Main Office by 8 a.m. and stay until the school day is over at 3 p.m.

• Transportation: Students must make their own transportation arrangements (unless coming with your grade school group).

• Dress Code: Students are asked to be dressed neatly; we prefer no jeans or sneakers, and no mid-drift or cut-off shirts. Grade school uniforms are at the discretion of the grade school principal.

• Lunch: Lunch is provided for all guests free of charge.

• Guides: If a student would like a specific guide, the student should request that at the time they set up their shadow day. We will do everything possible to honor the student’s request. We will try to honor all guide wishes. If you do not have a specific guide in mind but would like to be placed with someone in one of Prep's three levels of academics - either academic, honors, or advanced placement programs, please let us know that as well. This way, we can better fulfill your needs and expectations.
