Shadow Program

Choosing the right high school can be a challenging process. Shadowing allows a young man to go directly to the heart of the high school experience: spending a day on campus and in our classrooms. The Shadow Program provides an opportunity for prospective students to ask questions of our students and teachers, to sample the ambiance of the school, and to determine if Elder is a place where he will personally be comfortable. 


Program Details:

• Shadow guests are encouraged to visit on Fridays, however any day but Mondays are acceptable.
• 8th graders cannot shadow November 24-30 or after December 21.
