EXPLORE O'DOWD
Admissions Events and Visit Program
When you visit O’Dowd, you will be guided by current students, parents, and staff to tour our grounds, from walking the hallways and visiting classrooms, to checking out our Living Lab, library, and our new state-of-the-art Cummins Center.
School-Sponsored Student Visits (Students & Parents)
Students and parents attend a visit organized by their school. During these visits, students will participate in an information session, a campus tour, and classroom visits. Parents accompanying their child will have a separate tour and a meeting with the Director of Enrollment and Admissions.
Individual Student Visits: Students who are not part of our partner school program can schedule a student visit separately. We encourage parents to attend an Admissions Morning.
Individual Student Visits (Students Only) ALL VISITS FULL
Students have the opportunity to visit O’Dowd independently. These visits include an information session, a campus tour, and classroom visits, providing a personalized experience.
Admissions Mornings
This event offers a deep dive into O’Dowd’s culture and the admissions process. Parents will tour the campus and classrooms, listen to a student panel, and receive detailed information about the admissions process. The event runs from 9:15 to 11:30 AM. These sessions are ideal for parents who are not visiting with their child’s school or could not attend a school-sponsored visit.
