In addition to our shadowing program, Sequoia will now be offering tours of the campus on select Saturdays. These tours are open to both parents and potential future students who are interested in seeing the campus in person. Tours will be led by members of Sequoia's ASB Student Leadership class and will be approximately 60 minutes in length. Tour guides will introduce some of the essential points of interest on the Sequoia campus and strive to answer any and all questions during the tour window. Tours will depart between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM on each of the above dates.

Overview

  • A shadow day is an opportunity for eighth grade students to spend the day at Sequoia and experience what it’s like to be a member of the Sequoia family. 

  • An optional parent information session will be available

  • Our Hosts are trained to help you get the most of your shadow experience and can't wait to meet you! Each host will be paired with one or two shadows.

  • You may request your host and you may request to be paired with another shadow.

  • We make every effort to match eighth grade students with one of our hosts based on their interests (class schedule, extra-curricular activities, etc.)
