Be a Cardinal for a Day

The best way for any prospective student to learn about James River Day School is to be a Cardinal for a Day! Current 1st through 7th graders are invited on campus to experience a typical day at our school. They will attend classes with a James River student host, eat lunch with new friends, and get the chance to tour the campus, meet teachers, and ask questions.
