Admissions Process

  • Shadow Day

    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! 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.
