• Parent/Guardian Tours

  Complementing our Open House event, our Parent/Guardian Tours invite adult caregivers to campus during a typical school day and provide a feel for the community and see our program in action. You'll also have an opportunity to speak directly with a member of our Admissions and Administrative team. Tours are offered by division; we offer K-5, 6-8, and 9-12 tours. All K-8 tours are hosted on our Hiller campus, and our 9-12 tours are given at our Lafayette campus.

   

  By logging into your Ravenna Hub, we invite you to see which tours are available. Registration for an available tour will be displayed after you add Bentley School to your Ravenna Dashboard.

• Student Visit

  A Student Visit (often colloquially referred to as a shadow visit) is a wonderful opportunity for prospective students to experience a “day in the life” of a Bentley student.
  
  In-person visits for grades 6-12: Students are greeted by their ambassador, a current student, who will be their campus guide for the visit. While not required, we invite your middle or upper school student sign up so they can see for themselves all that Bentley has to offer.
  
  Student Visit options will only be displayed in Ravenna Hub after a family completes Part 1: Preliminary Application and pays the application fee.

• Kindergarten Playdate

  Even prospective Kindergarten applicants are excited to experience what Bentley offers them. The Admissions Office is excited to host one to two optional playdates for prospective applicants applying during the application season (December-January). 
  
  Information about Kindergarten Playdates is provided in Ravenna Hub once the dates are finalized. Participation in a playdate is optional. While their student is meeting with our teachers, parents/guardians will have the opportunity to speak with other lower school administrators.
