Campus Tours and Interviews

After one year, I've noticed greater confidence and independence in Attison.

We encourage all applicants and their families to personally visit the campus for an interview and campus tour. In addition, a personal interview is a required part of the application process and a great opportunity for students to learn more about EHS. Applicants will interview with one of our Admissions Officers and parents/guardians will have the opportunity to meet with the Admissions Officer as well.

While visiting, students are also welcome to observe a class, meet with teachers or coaches, attend chapel and lunch, or watch an athletic or performing arts practice as our schedule allows. Just let us know of your requests when scheduling your appointment.

Schedule an Appointment

Visits are typically scheduled during the academic year for Monday through Friday between 8:50 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. Please, call the Admissions Office at 703-933-4062 or 877-933-4347 (toll-free) to set up an appointment.   

To assist us in our planning and to make your visit more informative, students are encouraged to submit any completed pieces of the application before coming to campus. Interviews should be completed by the January 15 application deadline (though as long as all other application requirements are met, applicants may interview through the end of January).

While we would like to meet you in person, for international students or other applicants who are unable to make it to campus, please contact the Admissions Office to set up a phone or "Skype" interview (we must have a complete application on file before arranging this appointment).

Please be advised that our December and January appointment slots get filled up quickly as we try to accomodate families who intend to complete their application by our deadline.  Families should also note that once an appointment is booked, it can be difficult to reschedule during this time and thus we encourage families to keep their original appointment if at all possible.

Although there are no academic classes on Saturdays, we offer tours and interviews on select Saturdays during the school year to accomodate families who live further than a few hours away and in conjunction with special events. Saturday interviews are scheduled at 9 a.m., 10 a.m., and 11 a.m. Families should plan to spend about two hours on campus for the tour and interview.
