Middle School Shadow Afternoon

We are happy to offer middle school (rising 6th-8th grade) shadow afternoons upon request. Students must have initiated an application by the shadow date.

UPPER SCHOOL SHADOW half day

For students entering grades 9-12, there is an opportunity to participate in a half-day shadow experience on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Fridays. This half-day immersion will consist of two block periods and lunch. Each participating student will be paired with a designated "shadow buddy" to enhance their experience. These shadow opportunities serve as excellent ways for your student to familiarize themselves with the school environment and connect with fellow students.

Please reach out to admissions@watershedschool.org for more information.
