Open House & 8th Grade Visits

Open House and 8th Grade Visits are conducted during the fall. The 8th Grade Visits are primarily for students, and the Open House is primarily focused for parents.

  • Open House: Designed for families from any eighth-grade school, these open houses allow one to mingle with current parents, faculty, and students. This is a perfect opportunity to gain a broad understanding of the JPII experience.
  • 8th Grade Visits (Partner Schools & Open): JPII collaborates with local schools to offer dedicated visit days for their eighth graders. Contact us if your school does not participate, and we will schedule you or your group. This approach allows students to connect with classmates, venturing onto the exciting high school path together.
Exploring Tailored Visit Options

We understand that every family's needs are unique. That's why JPII offers distinct visit experiences:

    • Visits are from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
