When your child spends a day at Minnehaha, they will be paired with a current student who will serve as their host. Shadow days are a fabulous opportunity for children currently in kindergarten or above to spend time at the school and experience a day attending classes, meeting teachers and making new friends. All students kindergarten and above are required to attend a full or partial shadow day as part of the Admission process.
Lower or Middle School Shadow Day
Children spending the day at the Lower or Middle School have the opportunity to learn first-hand what a day at Minnehaha is like. They will participate in all the class activities alongside other children, including lunch and recess.
Upper School Shadow Day
If your child is visiting the Upper School for a shadow visit, they will be paired with a Redhawk Ambassador that has similar interests to your child. To make the most of the visit, we’ll make sure that they can connect with coaches, the theater director, a math teacher, student interns, or whomever can speak to your child’s interests.
Our teachers are eager to meet your child and discuss our many academic and extra-curricular programs.
