Campus Visit Mornings

CPA offers Campus Visit Mornings late September through January. Events are grouped for prospective students in rising grades K-3, 4-5, 6-8, and 9-12. The morning will include presentations from school leadership, program and division staff, teachers, and current students, followed by a campus tour. 

Campus Visit Mornings for grades 4-12 include a student shadow element during the event. For 6-12 families who have already attended a Campus Visit Morning and would like to dive deeper into the student experience, an extended student shadow morning is available throughout the fall. Email admissions@cpalions.org to request an extended shadow.
