Weekly tours of Horace Mann School are conducted between November and February on Wednesdays at 8:00am.

Why should I tour?

• The purpose of our tours is to help families make the best decision before the enrollment deadline.
• Through the years, we've learned that it's most helpful for families to tour the year before a child enters Kindergarten.
• Since our purpose is to help families decide to enroll, we do not conduct tours after acceptance letters are mailed. Families should tour before elementary applications are due.

When are tours?

• The tour schedule is posted on the right. You can sign up in the form below or click this link.
• If your family moves into the community school zone before October or after February, please contact our school office (651-293-8965) to discuss your options.

What do tours include?

• A walkthrough of the entire facility
• A short visit to at least one classroom of each grade level and specialists
• Knowledgeable guides who can answer questions
• Review of the enrollment and acceptance process
• Tours do not include extended observations or shadowing.
