 | The best way to get to know LREI is to see our students and faculty in action. That’s why we require all interested families to attend either a morning tour or an evening open house. We encourage middle and high school applicants to attend with their families. Tours are conducted during the school day. Each tour provides you with the opportunity to visit classrooms, see students at work, and meet with divisional faculty and/or administrators. On Middle and High School tours, current students will be available to speak with prospective students and their families. There will be time for questions at the conclusion of each tour.
For families interested in applying for the 2013-14 academic year, there will be Spring Tours in April for each division. Please refer to the Admissions Calendar for specific dates, and contact the Admissions Office to schedule the date of your choice.
Tours and open houses for the 2012-2013 school year take place in the fall. Please contact us at 212-477-5316, ext.210 to schedule the tour of your choice. An application is not required to tour the school.
Please note that Tour and Open House dates for applicants for the 2013-14 season will be posted in May.
