Palms Preview events—which include an information session, Q&A, campus tour, and classroom visits—will be held throughout the school year.

Registration for Palms Previews begins in September 2025. The registration link will be posted here.

Please register to select your preferred date and time. Each event has a capacity, so sign up promptly. Hundreds of parents attend each year, some with children along to look and listen.

During the Palms Preview, you'll be able to write any questions you have on note cards. There are usually more questions than can be answered in the available time, so Ms. Girvan will answer as many as she can during the event. Afterwards, she'll answer the remaining questions by contacting the person who asked each question. You can also ask questions by contacting Ms. Girvan at any time.
