Parents preparing for their child’s high school education can hear first hand what makes Chaminade Julienne Catholic High School an excellent option. Each fall, the CJ admissions office hosts parent receptions for those wishing to learn more about CJ — see the listing below.
Three reasons why parents should attend these sessions:
As first seen in the Fall 2016 edition of Vision.
“What impact has LIFT had on enrollment?” It is a question that Director of Admissions Brett Chmiel ‘02
says continues to humble him.
“While we can’t measure the direct impact now, there is a correlation between good enrollment momentum and our community’s excitement for the outcomes of LIFT.
All are welcome to the Chaminade Julienne Open House on Sunday, November 6 from 2-4 p.m.
"Many families have already taken the time to learn more about what we offer at CJ and they attend our Open House to affirm their decision to choose CJ," reflected Director of Admissions Brett Chmiel '02. "Some families may be taking advantage of the Open House by making this their first visit to our campus. For any reason that a family attends the Open House, they do so because they want to learn more about what CJ will afford their child in the future."
Chaminade Julienne Catholic High School is conducting off-campus information sessions in neighborhoods around the Miami Valley.
"These are great opportunities for all families to ask questions about anything they would like to know more about CJ," said Brett Chmiel '02, admissions director.
Parents will meet with current families, members of school leadership, and CJ President Dan Meixner '84. Currently, there are five scheduled parent receptions.
400 local eighth grade students get to experience high school , for part of a day, during CJ's Discovery Days on Thursday, October 8 and Thursday, October 15.
"They have a lot of fun, they learn something new, meet a new friend, and get a good perspective of what high school will be like in the aspect of Catholic education," explained director of admissions, Brett Chmiel '02.
Seven current CJ students and two CJ alumni acted as true ambassadors as they spent their last Friday of their summer break back at CJ welcoming new international students to school.
“The orientation was to give the new international students an initial overview of the building and of our community,” shared Brett Chmiel ’02, Director of Admissions. “It allowed them to meet some of the other students in a more intimate setting without experiencing too much culture shock.”
Chaminade Julienne is conducting off-campus information sessions for prospective parents this fall. These welcoming get-togethers take place in public venues and are open and accessible to anyone who'd like to learn more about us.
