Visiting the School
We welcome all interested families to visit the
school and to meet the faculty and students. We have
four
Open Houses scheduled this year:
- Wednesday, October 28, 2009
9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
- Wednesday, November 11, 2009
9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
- Wednesday, January 27, 2010
9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
- Wednesday, February 3, 2010
9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
These Open Houses and are a chance
for families to see how a typical day at Annunciation
runs. Tours are guided by students in Grade 8.
Afterwards, the principal meets the families to provide
an overview of the school and to answer any questions.
Students who have completed an application are required
to complete a classroom shadow visit. Our academic day
runs from 8:10 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. All applicants arrive
in the morning and attend classes with the students. For
example, a student applying for Sixth Grade in the Fall
would attend morning classes with the current Fifth
Grade. This allows the applicant a chance to interact
with their future classmates and teachers as well as to
see what a typical day is at Annunciation. All
applicants should bring a snack, and applicants for
Grades 2 through 7 should bring lunch.
Interviews will take place at the time of the student’s
visit. These interviews are informal opportunities for a
member of the Admissions Committee to meet a prospective
student, answer any questions, and to learn more about
his or her academic and personal interests. Students in
Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 1 spend a half-day
visiting Annunciation. Students in Grades 2 through 7
spend an entire day. The morning is with the current
students, and the afternoon is for the applicant to
complete a reading assessment to determine reading
level. Applicants in Grades 4 through 7 also complete a
math assessment to determine academic level. It is not
necessary for the parents to stay with the applicant
since this is an opportunity for the Annunciation
community to meet and interact with the student.

School Office at 202-362-1408.
