Each session lasts approximately 2 hours, beginning with a presentation about the School’s transformational programs, followed by a Q&A session with the admissions team. The information session ends with a tour of our campus, where families can see The Windward School’s evidence-based program in action. If you decide to apply to The Windward School at your information session, a member of the admissions team will help guide you through the process.
