10 a.m. - 12 noon

Join us in a day of showcasing Nardin’s commitment to excellence in academics, the arts, athletics, and service. Tour classrooms, meet current students and our outstanding teachers, and experience our rich and interactive learning community for both boys and girls - Kindergarten through 8th grade.
Pre-registration is closed, but walk-ins are welcome. Last tour begins at 11:15 am.

Shadow Visit and Testing

Prospective students are invited to participate in a full day shadow visit (for students entering 6th through 8th grade) or a half day visit (for students entering 1st through 5th grade). This is a wonderful opportunity to spend time connecting with current students, observing classes, and seeing firsthand what makes our Lower and Middle school so special!
 
Additionally, prospective students are required to take an assessment to determine readiness for our Lower and Middle School programs. Assessments will be administered as part of a student's shadow day.
Shadow visits will begin in November 2024. To sign up for a shadow day, please contact the Admissions Office at admissions@nardin.org or visit the Admissions Progress tab in your child's Blackbaud account and click on Sign-up for a shadow day.
