During this event, prospective families can tour the Edgehill Campus and speak with students, faculty, and administrators to learn about our K-12 school's academic, athletic, and arts offerings. You can help share the word about our school by picking up a yard sign from the Office of Enrollment Management (previously the Admissions Office). Also, share our new nine-part video series with prospective families.
