Archbishop Ryan High School
Shadow Visit Days
Experience a Day as an Archbishop Ryan Student!
The Shadow Program is designed to allow interested 8th graders and transfer students to experience a day at Archbishop Ryan firsthand. Shadowing is not mandatory as part of the application process, but it is a great opportunity for students to learn more about Ryan!
During their visit, a shadowing student will accompany a Ryan student throughout their day to become familiar with the campus, the academic programs, and the student body. Sit in on classes, eat lunch in the cafeteria, and get a feel for everyday life at Ryan!
All students must submit an admissions application before registering for a Shadow Visit.

FAQs
The calendar is full, but I want a specific day.
Unfortunately, we have a limited number of students we can accommodate each day. We apologize for the inconvenience, but it's important to avoid overcrowding our classrooms so everyone has a fun and successful visit!
Am I eligible to participate?
Current 8th grade students and interested transfer students are eligible to shadow. You also must submit an admissions application before registering for your shadow visit.
Can I choose who to shadow?
When registering, you can request a current Ryan student to shadow. We will do our best to pair your child with the student of their choice but cannot make guarantees due to scheduling. Additionally, 8th graders can only shadow current 9th and 10th graders. No exceptions can be made.
Is my absence excused?
A letter will be sent home with the student when the Shadow Day is complete. Please bring that to school the following day.
What should I bring?
Please bring a cell phone to contact your family when the day is over. Lunch is provided, but if you have food allergies, we recommend packing your own food. You can also bring cash or card if you wish to shop at our school store!
School bags, pencils, etc. are not necessary.
Where do I go?
You will be dropped off by the Main Office doors on the North Side of campus (closest to St. Martha's School) at 8:15am. Parents can stay in the car, as one of our Admissions Team Members will come out to greet you!
Pick up is at 1:30pm in the same spot - we will walk you out so parents can stay in their car!
What do I wear?
Wear your school uniform. If you don't have a school uniform, dress pants/skirt and a collared shirt work too! No hoodies, graphic tees, jeans, or sweatpants.
