Experience Cardinal Shehan
We invite you to gain a better understanding of what it means to be apart of the Cardinal Shehan School Community!
Touring Tuesdays
Cardinal Shehan School's NEW implementation of Touring Tuesdays is in full effect! Prospective families will have the opportunity to attend a private tour every Tuesday. Families will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with our 'peaceful' institution simply by taking a glimpse into our various spaces such as classrooms, the library, the gymnasium, and the rest of our amazing facilities.
During the average Touring Tuesday, families will receive information about Cardinal Shehan including: our history, the admissions and enrollment processes, tuition rates, financial aid, and more. You will also have the opportunity to meet some of our school's current administration, faculty, staff, and students. Prospective students are highly encouraged to attend Touring Tuesdays with their families.
Open House Events
Are you not available to attend a 'Touring Tuesday' session? We have plenty more opportunities that allow our families to tour and learn about Cardinal Shehan School. We typically hold two to three Open House events per school year, where families are given the opportunity to learn more about Cardinal Shehan School!
Shadow Days
Prospective students from grades 3-8 are invited to shadow a Dove for the day! We welcome students with open arms to visit our classrooms, build new friendships, and most importantly spending the day as a Cardinal Shehan Dove.
Each prospective student will be paired with a current Dove to shadow for the day where he/she will have the opportunity to meet our CSS faculty and participate in class. To schedule a shadow day, please contact our Admissions Director.
