Choosing the right school for your child is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make as a parent. Websites and brochures can give you helpful information, but nothing compares to walking a campus, meeting teachers, and feeling the energy of a school community. That’s why Open Houses matter so much—they don’t just show you classrooms, they reveal a school’s heartbeat.

Here’s how to make the most of your visit, along with a look at what you can expect when you attend an Open House at St. Martin’s.

Why Open Houses Matter

An Open House is your opportunity to see a school in action. It’s a chance to:

• Meet the teachers who will guide and inspire your child.

• Talk with students and parents who can share their firsthand experiences.

• Explore classrooms, athletic spaces, arts facilities, and outdoor areas.

• Begin to picture your child thriving in the environment.

This first-hand experience gives you insights that no brochure can provide.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Visit

To make your Open House visit meaningful, keep these tips in mind:

• Observe interactions. Watch how teachers connect with students and how students treat one another.

• Listen for student voices. Are students engaged, confident, and excited to share their experiences?

• Ask thoughtful questions. Inquire about curriculum, safety, extracurriculars, and community life.

• Bring your child, if age appropriate. Their reactions to the campus, student tour guides, faculty and coaches, and the tour provided can speak volumes.

• Take notes. You’ll likely visit more than one school, so jotting down your impressions will help later in your decision-making.

What to Expect at a St. Martin’s Open House

At St. Martin’s, our Open Houses are designed to give you a true feel for life on our campus. You can expect:

• A warm welcome and overview of what makes St. Martin's stand out.

• Classroom visits and time to speak with faculty.

• Conversations with current students, faculty, and administration.

• A look into our chapel, approach to curriculum, and extracurricular opportunities.

• A chance to see how Faith, Scholarship, and Service are woven into daily life.

Experience St. Martin’s for Yourself

No website or brochure can capture the sense of belonging families feel when they walk our halls. We’d love for you to experience it firsthand.
