How long is a Shadow Day visit at Palo Alto Preparatory School?

Imagine it as the perfect educational “test drive” – usually clocking in around a delightful half-day, often in the morning. It’s the ideal amount of time to get a solid feel for the academic terrain, observe the social ecosystem, and experience the overall vibe without inducing educational jet lag. They’ll get to sample a few different classes, maybe even snag a coveted cafeteria snack, and interact with the natives (again, the students!). By the time you arrive for pick-up, they should have a pretty good sense of whether Palo Alto Prep feels like a potential “home base” for their future learning adventures. It’s like a well-edited movie trailer – enough to know if you want to see the full feature!
