Visit
Come see the difference
At St. X, we believe the best way to truly understand our community is by experiencing it firsthand. That’s why we offer a variety of visit opportunities to give you a glimpse into life at St. X.

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.
This spring, we’re also offering Spring Walkabout Wednesdays for 7th-grade parents and guardians on March 26 and April 23. This is a great opportunity to get an early look at St. X, ask questions, and gain insight into the admissions process before your son’s 8th-grade year.
Open House
We also invite you to attend our Open House, where you can explore our diverse athletics programs, clubs, activities, and academic offerings. This event is the perfect opportunity to see all the ways Saint Xavier High School can help your student find his place and achieve excellence.
Join Us!
We look forward to welcoming you to Saint Xavier High School. Whether you’re shadowing a student or attending a parent event, we are excited to show you what makes St. X an exceptional place for academic and personal growth.
