Telling our story better is our guidepost as we work to deliver our mission and share the value of James River Day School’s exceptional education. We’ve studied the question of how families initially hear about and become interested in James River. Overwhelmingly, the most common answer is “word-of-mouth.” That’s you! You are our best advocates and advertisers.
This is a call-to-action for all of us. When members of our community share their James River experience, they provide prospective families with deeper, richer insights into our school. Once prospective families enter our hallways for a visit, the authentic interactions between our expert and caring faculty and our students, who demonstrate a joyous love of learning, continue the stories first told by you. Visitors are amazed and leave wanting to become a part of this community.
There is no better way to experience James River Day School than to be a “Cardinal for a Day.” This allows potential Cardinals the opportunity to spend the day with a James River student and gives prospective families the opportunity to envision their own James River story.
We are excited to offer three shadowing days for prospective students wanting to learn more before applying. Interested families may visit our website, click on the Visit JRDS button, and sign up to have their students be a “Cardinal for a Day” on one of the following dates:
- Thursday, December 12
- Tuesday, March 3
- Thursday, March 12
I thank you for being ambassadors for James River Day School and amplifying the school’s impact by sharing your stories.
