Campus Visits and Interviews
Harvard-Westlake offers campus tours and Family Visiting Days at the Middle School and Upper School campuses for prospective parents and students who are considering entering HW for the upcoming academic year. To receive specific dates and program information, please complete the application request form to receive an admission packet. While families are welcome to inquire early and get on our mailing list, these programs are limited to current year applicants due to the volume of prospective families.
Tours are led by Student Ambassadors and run about 35-40 minutes. A Harvard-Westlake Parent Ambassador may also be available to answer questions from the parent perspective.
Five Saturday Family Visiting Days are offered throughout the fall and winter, three on the Middle School campus for 7th grade applicants and two on the Upper School campus for 9th-11th grade applicants. The Upper School program includes an interview with a faculty member as well as separate presentations for students and parents. Parents will learn about HW through a slide presentation, curriculum overview, and student panel. They will have an opportunity to meet the faculty interviewer. Students will sit in on mini-classes and view the HW slide show. The Family Visiting Day at the Middle School is similar in structure without the interview component. All applicants to 7th grade will be interviewed during the week at the Middle School. An Admission Office representative will call your family to schedule your interview once we receive the Application for Admission to be completed by parents.
Families will have to submit the Familiy Visiting Day card included in the admission packet to RSVP. Space is limited, and we cannot guarantee a spot if the card is received after January 4, 2009.
All families of applicants to 9th grade and above are strongly encouraged to attend a Family Visiting Day; however, we can schedule a weekday tour and interview for families who cannot attend due to religious reasons or because they reside out of state. Please contact Michelle Hung '91 at mhung@hw.com to schedule a weekday tour and interview. (Requests must be made by January 4, 2009). We warmly welcome families of 7th grade applicants to the Family Visiting Days at the Middle School, but please note that this event is optional.
Campus Tours
All families will have an opportunity to tour and visit one of our campuses during one of our Family Visiting Days and/or during a campus tour. In addition, 7th grade families are welcome to set up a weekday tour of the Upper School campus, and 9th grade families are welcome to set up a weekday tour of the Middle School campus. To schedule a visit, please contact Michelle Hung '91.
All families are welcome to visit campus to attend any performance sponsored by the performing arts department or any sporting event hosted by our athletic teams.
