Student Shadowing
Perhaps your student would like to see what a typical school day at SCLA is like. By contacting your admissions counselor, you can arrange for your student to spend the day "shadowing" a SCLA student, by sitting in on classes and meeting teachers, getting a taste of our school experience.
8th Grade - Crusader for a Day
CFAD is designed to give next year’s freshmen (this year's 8th graders) a taste of SCLA. Students from SCLA Association elementary schools and area grade and middle schools attend each year. Crusader for a Day is scheduled in early December. Check if your school will register your class as a group.
