Eighth Grade Visits

It is strongly recommended that each 8th grade applicant spend a day at Bishop Blanchet. Most visits are scheduled on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday between October and February. Usually a whole day is spent with a Freshman Ambassador. Ambassadors are matched with eighth graders on a one-to-one basis. No exceptions.
