One of the most important steps in the private school admission process is the day(s) the student visits the school. It's often called the shadow day because they follow a current student around for the day. Today's guest is Jeffrey Southworth, The Co-Director of Admissions at Bishop McNamara High School in Forestville, Maryland to discuss what students should prepare for and expect from the visit.

Today's guest is Danny Vogelman, the Head of School at Washington Episcopal School who also served as a middle school principal. His unique lens into private and public schools made him the perfect guest for this episode. Enjoy!
