What time and where will I drop off and pick up?

Time: You’ll arrive at 8:45 a.m., check-in, and meet your shadow host. The shadow day ends at 1:50 p.m.

Drop Off: Enter via the West Drive off Big Bend Boulevard. (Do not enter via the Main Entrance or through the Back Lot via Garden Avenue). The entrance will be marked with signage and, weather permitting, student and staff greeters. Shadows will be directed to enter via the first door ('star 1' in the image below). Parents will proceed out via the Back Parking Lot exit via Garden Ave.

Pick Up: Enter via the West Drive off Big Bend Boulevard - exactly the same as the morning's drop off. Cars will be lined up along the west drive and throughout the Back Parking Lot. Please allow for a slight delay as we work to help each Shadow find their vehicle. We thank you in advance for your patience!

Admissions Events FAQ

Can my child Shadow in 7th Grade?

At Nerinx, we believe students are best served when they Shadow in 8th grade. To that end, we do not offer Shadow Days for 7th graders. Why? We believe 8th grade is the time when students are the most discerning about high school. This is the perfect time for your child to Shadow as she sees what high school life is all about and experience "that feeling you get" when you know a school is right for you.

Instead, our signature event for 7th graders is Discover Day on April 12, 2024. Your 7th grader can join us for a morning on campus immersing herself into our academic and student experience. She'll take part in a small group, led by one of our Student Ambassadors and participate in faculty-designed, hands-on activities.
