  2. If it's a yes find "future students" section, sometimes it's called something different

  3. Then find schedule a visit, or if they have a search bar, search "schedule a visit"

  4. Follow the directions to request a visit that works for your family

  • Visit the school's website, and really look around at the programs, clubs, 

  • Take a Virtual tour

  • Check out social media and follow school organization accounts (be careful many are not official pages)

  • Attend college fairs virtually or in-person locally (Central's will this Fall)
