"Lion For A Day" Shadowing:

We invite prospective students (generally grades 4-8) to shadow current students during the fall and spring semesters. To schedule a shadow visit, contact Debbie Reed at debbie.reed@stmcs.net. The prospective student will be matched with a current student according to grade level, and will spend the morning attending classes with that student.

Important notes about shadowing:

• What should a shadow student wear? -- Nice casual clothing is recommended for a shadow day. Examples are khaki pants, knit polo-type shirts, casual dresses, nice slacks, and blouses. Please --no jeans, shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, low-cut tops, or flip flops. 

• When is the arrival time? -- Please arrive by 7:40 AM and check in at the front receptionist desk.

• When is the pick-up time? -- Please pick-up at 12:00 PM in the front lobby. 

• Who can I shadow? -- We will match the prospective student with a current student in the same grade level. 

The Online Application Process:

Each November, the application for the following school year is made available. New student applications, including all required documentation and the $75 application fee are due in mid-February. Decision letters are mailed mid-March. Applications received after the February deadline will be considered based on space availability.
