Experience a Day in the Life of a Man of Carmel
Mount Carmel’s Shadow Day Program invites current 7th–11th-grade boys who are seriously considering Mount Carmel High School to spend a full day on campus and experience what it truly means to be a Man of Carmel.
Visiting students will be paired with a current student who shares similar interests, allowing them to:
-
Attend classes and experience our rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum
-
Meet our dedicated teachers — educators who will know him by name
-
Connect personally with staff and students
-
Get a feel for the brotherhood, spirit, and tradition that define Mount Carmel
This is a unique opportunity to explore life at Mount Carmel and prepare for the next step in your son’s academic journey — all in a welcoming and supportive environment.
👉 When completing the Shadow Day Request Form, please select only one date to visit. All available dates are open to student selection.
