ÍâÍøÌìÌÃ

Each year, we look forward to seeing the newest batch of ÍâÍøÌìÌà students at summer orientation! This is where your ÍâÍøÌìÌà story begins as you experience the beauty of campus, meet future classmates who become friends, and discover what makes the ÍâÍøÌìÌà community a family. We hope that after your time on campus, you students have found a home and will be excited to return to in the fall.

Be on the lookout for more information on orientation to your personal email address as we get closer to summer and your orientation date.
