A Shadow Day Visit is an excellent way for a prospective student to experience what ACS has to offer and to get better acquainted with our programs and curriculum. The Shadow Day experience is open to students in the 6th-11th grades. Students who shadow are partnered with an ACS student in their grade level and will follow a regular class schedule.
