Greetings!
This week, students began hosting 8th grade students as part of our admissions office's shadow day experience. Eagle Ambassadors take these prospective students through their daily class schedule and share why they enjoy being a student at CJ.
Another way we invite families to learn more about CJ is through parent receptions. In partnership with the Admissions Office, these are co-hosted by CJ families all across the Miami Valley. If you believe your insights about the decision-making process and your experience at CJ would be beneficial to others, I encourage you to consider co-hosting a parent reception. The admissions office takes care of the details and logistics; we want you to help by sharing your story.
If you are interested in learning more about co-hosting a parent reception, or have any additional questions, please contact me.
