Plan a Visit
We highly recommend that students applying to Cardigan schedule a campus visit and interview. You will be able to speak to an admission counselor who can answer any questions you might have about Cardigan, the admission process, or boarding school life.
Available Dates
Our Admissions Officers schedule interviews Monday through Friday and many Saturdays throughout the year. Unfortunately, we are not able to host students while the school is closed for break (October 20-23, November 24-December 2, December 19-31, 2019 and January 1-7, February 2-5, and March 7-30, 2020.)
Interviews are scheduled in the morning at 8:30, 9:15, 10:00, or 11:00 a.m. Visits last approximately 2 hours and include a tour with a Cardigan student, a student interview, and parent chat with an admission counselor.
Important: If you have not already done so, please complete an Admissions Inquiry form before scheduling a visit.
Contact the Admissions Office at admissions@cardigan.org or calling 603.523.3548 and we will be happy to help you plan a visit!
The Admissions Office is located in Clark-Morgan Hall at 15 Founders Path, Canaan, New Hampshire. You can find driving directions below, as well as suggestions for places to stay and eat!
