Campus tours for international students, families, and/or agents may be arranged by emailing Ms. Deng, the Director of International Recruitment and Programs at ydeng@johnbapst.org.
A tour includes meeting administrators, visiting academic buildings, viewing residences, and observing classes. During school days, a visit from an international family can also include interacting with other students at lunch time, an interview, and a tour of a residence. A whole morning is suggested.
