Visit Bolles

The best way to experience The Bolles School is by visiting one of our campuses. We offer a variety of visit opportunities across all divisions, with tour formats thoughtfully designed to reflect the unique experience of each age group and program.

As part of the admission process, prospective students of all ages have the opportunity to spend time on campus, allowing them to experience our classrooms, meet our faculty, and discover what it means to be part of the Bolles community.

We look forward to welcoming your family and sharing firsthand what makes All Things Possible at The Bolles School.

Shadow Visit

Experience a day in the life of a Bolles Bulldog! Students who have started an application to Middle or Upper School are invited to spend a day on campus and attend classes while shadowing a current student. Lower School applicants are required to visit as part of the admission process and will be scheduled by the director.
 

Bulldog Beginnings

Designed especially for children ages 3–5 and their parent or guardian, Bulldog Beginnings is our signature Lower School visit experience, offering families an engaging introduction to life at The Bolles School.

Each Bulldog Beginnings event features one of our Lower School programs, giving families the opportunity to experience a specific area of campus through hands-on activities led by our faculty. Depending on the date you attend, your visit may focus on science, art, literature, music, drama, physical education, or another engaging learning environment. Every session is unique, providing an authentic glimpse into the curiosity, creativity, and joyful learning that define the Bolles experience.

Bulldog Beginnings begins promptly at 8:15 a.m. and is designed as an interactive learning experience rather than a campus tour. If you would also like to tour campus, we encourage you to schedule a parent tour separately.

A parent or guardian must attend with each child. Space is limited, so we encourage you to register early.

Can’t Make It to Campus?

There is no substitute for experiencing The Bolles School in person. We encourage all families to visit campus to explore our learning environments, meet our students and faculty, and experience our community firsthand.

For families applying to the Middle School, Upper School or Boarding Program who are unable to travel, virtual admission meetings may be available. Please contact your Enrollment Director to discuss your options.

Because the Lower School admission process includes essential on-campus experiences, virtual tours and admission meetings are not offered for Lower School applicants.
