Virtual open house, always open
Self-guided tour, principal welcome, and a page per department.
Request a dayWe’d rather send you to the school’s own page than guess a date and send you to a locked building. These get re-checked every week.
Its shadow-day form still shows last cycle's dates — do not use them.
Recruits at external school fairs rather than hosting its own open house.
Auditions run in reverse: apply on GoCPS first and the school contacts you to schedule. Audition registration still says coming soon.
Lists a Sept 16 evening event, but nothing says prospective families are invited. Call (773) 534-9750 before going.
Runs shadow days; none posted for this cycle yet.
IB page says to attend the open house but publishes no date.
These schools say in writing that the open house is the only visit they offer — no shadow days, no private tours. Don’t miss the date.
Thirty things to look for, the questions that get real answers, and the one admissions rule families get backwards.
