Campus Tours
A building tour is a great option to see our school facilities and learn more about Monsignor Slade. Tours are led by a member of the Admissions Team prepared to answer questions about the school experience as well as the application process. Tours typically last about 45 minutes to an hour. Visitors will have the opportunity to observe classes in session and to see common areas like our gymnasium, dining hall, and STEM lab. Students are welcome to come along!
All adults attending must bring along a driver’s license to be scanned by our Visitor Management System so that a visitor badge may be generated.
Slade Shadow Days | 8:15AM - 12:15PM
A shadow day experience is required for all students applying to the 4th grade or higher. Shadow visitors will be assigned a student host and will accompany that host to classes, lunch and recess to get the full Monsignor Slade experience. Students applying will be assigned to a host in their current grade and will spend the day among their potential future classmates.
A member of the admissions team will meet with each visiting student during the day to administer a computer-based admissions screening to fulfill that requirement of the application process. Our student guests should dress comfortably, but appropriately. We’re excited to welcome your child as a Slade Student for a Day to enjoy the full complement of academic classes and peer engagement time that comprise the MSCS student experience.
