After the year we have had, the pandemic has strengthened our school’s ability to share ourselves with you online. If you and your family feel  uncertain about visiting in person, we want to make sure you have all the information you need to continue exploring Oldfields. You can experience the magic of Oldfields through a virtual, guided tour with a current student, speak with a member of our admission team, meet program directors of interest, and complete your admission interview—all online. 

The magic of Oldfields is how you feel when you are here—excited and challenged, and at the same time, comfortable and at home. The very best way to experience it is in person! We offer two unique campus visit experiences; campus tours and shadow days. 

• Shadow days last approximately four hours and are designed to allow you to live a day-in-the-life of an Oldfields student. You will go on a guided tour with a student ambassador, attend a full class period, and join in a community event. If you like, we can also schedule your parent and student interviews during the same visit. 

Campus tours are ideal if your family is looking for a shorter introduction to Oldfields and last about two hours. Parents and students will go on a tour with a student ambassador, drop-in on a class, and attend a community event. Again, student and parent interviews can be scheduled the same day.
