The office of admissions is implementing its sixth year of off-campus information sessions for prospective parents this fall. These sessions are held in public venues, open and accessible to anyone who would like to come. As we continue to add new venues and communities to our outreach list, we also are looking for current families who would like to share their CJ story with others. 

If you were positively affected by a parent reception in the past, or if your child is having a great experience in our community, we invite you to co-host a parent reception with us and tell prospective parents about your experience. CJ parents who tell their stories are among the very best ways that we are able to identify future CJ families and help build and strengthen our community.

Please contact me to share your story and learn more details about how you can play a part in the continuation of the life and mission of Chaminade Julienne.
