Freshman for a Day

The Freshman for a Day Program is the perfect way for prospective students to experience Seton Hall Prep for the first time. This unique opportunity is available to 8th grade students between September 23, 2024 and February 7, 2025.  Between March 10 and May 16, 2025 - 7th grade visitors and transfer candidates are welcome to participate!

In order to provide as personal a visit as possible, we limit visitation to ten visitors per day. Visitors should plan to arrive by 8:30 am on the day of their scheduled visit. Classes begin each morning at 8:50 and conclude at 2:45 pm.  Parents are invited to return to the Admission Office at 2:30 for an informal gathering with the Director of Admission and other parents.

• Each Freshman for a Day visitor should dress in a button-down shirt and tie, khaki-style pants, belt, socks, and dress shoes. (No sneakers, please.) Visitors may also request a specific ninth grade host for the day when making their appointment. Should the Freshman for a Day visitor not know a current student to serve as his host, the Director of Admission will select one for him – someone possibly from the same school or town or who shares a common interest.

• Each Freshman for a Day will enjoy lunch in our dining hall, compliments of the Admission Office.  Visitors are also welcome to bring their own lunch if they prefer.

• Each visitor will be provided with a custom Seton Hall Prep padfolio and pen.  At the end of the school day, each Freshman for a Day visitor will receive his own official Seton Hall Prep shirt!
