What is it like to go to an all-girls school? The best way to know is to spend some time here ... shadow a student ... go to classes ... talk to the teachers ... ask questions about the schedule; ask how much homework you might expect; ask about the music and dance and fine arts programs, the team sports, the food, the extracurricular opportunities, anything at all ... just ask! When you leave, you'll have a much better idea of what Hockaday is all about and if it's right for you.

The following are ways to visit:

ADMISSION PREVIEW
The Admission Previews are offer an opportunity for the whole family to visit Hockaday. You may talk with students and faculty and take a tour of the campus. Your guide will be a current student who will share her experiences at Hockaday with you. We also have several students who speak about their particular grade level. If you have questions about Hockaday or the admission process that you'd like to ask the admission staff, they'll be available as well.
