The Archdiocese of Philadelphia is hosting a common universal visitation day for all of its high schools throughout the five-county region.
Seventh grade students throughout the metropolitan area have signed up for the opportunity to explore one of the Archdiocesan secondary schools in depth. This initiative allows prospective high school students to tour a campus, meet administrators, teachers, current students, and take part in hands-on activities that highlight each school’s unique academic offerings, and school spirit.
In addition to students from 116 parish, regional, and Independence Mission Schools (IMS) this visitation is also open to current public, charter, cyber, and private school seventh grade students.
