Walkabout Wednesday: A Special Experience for Parents
We understand that parents play a critical role in the decision-making process, which is why we’ve created Walkabout Wednesdays. These events are designed for parents of 8th-grade students to experience St. X firsthand during a typical school day. Parents will have the chance to tour our campus, meet with school administrators, and engage with the Admissions Team.

August 27, September 17, October 29, and November 19
