A real school day, from her point of view

8th Grade Day is for 8th graders considering Xavier. It isn't required as part of the admissions process, but it's the single best way for her to find out whether this is where she belongs. She'll spend the morning with students who were actually where she is a year ago.

Attendance isn't required to apply, and it doesn't affect her application. She should come if she's curious.

And we would love to meet her!

The Day at a Glance

Welcome Assembly

The whole visiting class together to start the morning.

Student-led classroom visits

Real classes, real teachers, guided by a Xavier student.

All-school pep rally

The entire school, all at once. This is the part they talk about on the drive home.

Lunch, provided

Served at 11:30, nothing to bring.

At check-in, every visitor is paired with a Xavier Student Ambassador who stays with her group all day. She won't be walking into a room alone.

A Few Things to Know

Getting Here

Our campus is walled, so the street address won't bring you to the right place on the morning of the visit.

  • Enter at the intersection of 7th Street and Highland Avenue

  • Drop off at Bidwell Circle at 9:30 a.m.

  • Pick up at Bidwell Circle at 1:00 p.m.

  • There is no parking on campus. Drop-off and pick-up only.

Arriving with Friends

Carpools of six students or fewer who arrive together will be kept in the same group. Students can't wait at check-in for friends who haven't arrived yet — it backs up the line for every family behind them. Arrive together, stay together.

What to Wear

If she wears a uniform skirt at her current school, have her wear it here. It's the easiest conversation starter in the building.

If she doesn't wear a uniform, Xavier's dress code applies.

  • Skirts no shorter than the top of the knee

  • No shorts

  • Jeans are fine — but no rips, holes, or frayed edges

  • No flip flops

What to Bring

Nothing. Please don't bring beverages onto campus. Lunch and drinks are provided at 11:30 a.m.
