Interested in attending Xavier? Come check us out!  


Xavier offers two different immersive student experiences for interested 8th, 9th or 10th grade students. Students can have one or both experiences. They offer an opportunity to experience a typical day at Xavier with our students. Our guests will attend classes, meet teachers, coaches, counselors, and get to know our Xavier community. Shadowing is not mandatory, but it is a great opportunity to experience what it’s like to be a Xavier student.
