CAMPUS VISITS
We warmly invite you to schedule an on-campus tour and interview day, or a Zoom interview. You can conveniently make an appointment below for the option that suits you and your family!
Summer Tours
Summer tours have arrived! From June 15-August 12 only, you can see our beautiful campus blooming during our summer recess.
Groups are small and personalized, with a limit of five students and their families per tour – this means you and your family will have a chance to get all of your questions answered by our dedicated Admission Office staff and Student Ambassador tour guides.
Tour Times
You may schedule a summer tour during available slots during the following days and times:
- Mondays: 9 a.m. or 11 a.m.
- Fridays: 9 a.m. or 11 a.m.
- Wednesdays: 1 p.m.
What Will My Campus Tour Be Like?
As a guest of Cheshire Academy, you can expect a guided campus tour with one of our Student Ambassadors and an opportunity to learn more about Cheshire Academy, our programs, and student life. Since school is not in session during the summer, you will have the chance to fully explore our beautiful campus facilities and grounds.

How to Prepare for Your Interview
While we call it an “interview,” we think of it as more of a casual conversation so we can get to know you as an individual. We generally ask questions about your interests, goals, and experiences. We also allow plenty of time to chat with parents and guardians.
Although there are no standard questions, if you would like to prepare for the interview, we encourage you to think deeply about the following topics:
Do you enjoy a specific subject, hobby, or interest? If so, what is that and why is it special to you?
Is there a skill or subject area that you want to get better at?
Try to think about specific things you’re excited to learn. For example, instead of just getting better at history, perhaps you want to learn more about the airplanes used in World War I because you are also interested in engineering.
