Shadow Experience
Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions a family can make. At Cole Valley Christian Schools, we want you and your student to feel confident and excited about joining our community. One of the best ways to do that is through our Shadow Experience program for prospective Middle & High School students.
What Is the Shadow Experience?
The Shadow Experience gives prospective students the opportunity to spend a half-day or full day on campus, paired with a current Cole Valley student. During this visit, your child will:
-
Attend classes and meet teachers
-
Experience the rhythm of the school day
-
Join classmates for lunch and activities
-
See firsthand what it’s like to be part of Charger Nation
This unique opportunity allows your student to not only tour the campus, but also live a day in the life at Cole Valley—building a genuine sense of belonging before making the decision to enroll.
Carefully Chosen Student Hosts
Our shadow leaders are thoughtfully selected and trained to represent Cole Valley with excellence. They are students who demonstrate Christlike character, school spirit, and leadership. Their role is to guide, encourage, and care for your child throughout the visit, ensuring they feel welcome and included.
Why Participate?
We believe that seeing and experiencing our school environment is invaluable for both students and families. The Shadow Experience helps prospective students:
-
Ease the transition into a new school
-
Meet peers and make early connections
-
Experience the Christ-centered culture that defines CVCS
-
Gain clarity and confidence about the admissions decision
