Step 2: Visit Padua / Panda for a Day

In Step 1 of the application process you submitted an Inquiry Form and were invited to "Connect with Padua Academy" via our Veracross platform.  If by chance you missed Step 1, please visit our Admissions page.

Once you have successfully logged in to Veracross you will land on the Admission Portal and be able to access your Checklist. You will then be able to schedule a Open House tour or a student Panda for a Day “shadow” visit for your daughter to experience a typical school day. 

  • Visit Padua:  Tours will be offered at our Open House on October 19th starting at 1pm.  

  • Panda for a Day Visit:  Eighth grade girls are invited to participate in our Panda for a Day program in the fall of their 8th grade year. They will be paired with a current Padua student with similar interests. While these visits aren’t mandatory, they are highly encouraged as many of our students report that their shadow visit was the most important factor in choosing Padua. 

Both of these visits can be scheduled by logging into the Veracross Admissions Portal
