Q. What is a Northbrook Visit Day?
A. After an application is received,applicants will be invited to spend a day at Northbrook Academy. Students will shadow a current student through a complete day. They should arrive by 7:45AM and plan to stay until first dismissal at 4PM. A Northbrook Visit Day is usually a day that we go off-campus to the Raynham Athletic Club where they will enjoy swimming, cardio, ball sports, or dance. Therefore, a Med/Media/Travel/RAC form MUST be completed and brought to school with students on the day of their visit.

Q. What should I bring on a Northbrook Visit Day?
A. Students should wear comfortable neat school attire (clothing without words is preferred) and bring a backpack with a notebook, pencil, a book to read to be used throughout AM classes. They will also need lunch and a snack and may want a small amount of spending money to buy a snack or beverage. For visiting RAC they need: sneakers, socks, shorts or sweat pants, t-shirt,, bathing suit, towel, goggles (optional) ,and a bag for wet clothes. Don't forget a smile and the willingness to try new things!!

Q. What can I expect at my interview?
A. The interview is for a candidate and their parent(s) and members of the Northbrook Admissions committee. We try to schedule interviews shortly following a Northbrook Visit Day. The interview is the final chance for Admissions and families to determine if a Northbrook Experience would be beneficial. Admissions staff will try to get to know the student and parents better, to clarify expectations and to learn what the candidate will contribute to the community. It is also a great time for families to get answers to any lingering questions. Interviews usually last from 20- 40 minutes and they are scheduled in the evening.
