• Student Interviews, Grades 1-8

  Meeting prospective students is an important part of the admission process at Old Trail School.  This year guests will not visit our classrooms, but getting to know students is still important to us.  Parents and students entering grades 1-8 will have a Zoom meeting with a member of the Admission Office to learn more about Old Trail School, and to allow us to get to know your family. Parents are encouraged to meet with the Admission team separately to share your child's educational background and interests.  To schedule a Zoom meeting please contact Jacquie Matheny or call  330-666-1118 x312.
