Who Will I Be Shadowing?
IWA has 50 students who serve as Student Ambassadors. These young women are recommended and interviewed to be tour guides, so our finest sophomores represent IWA. A visitor will be paired with an ambassador who shares the same interests or attended the same grade school.
Where Do We Meet?
We will meet in the Board Room in the back of the Theater building. The Theater building is located in the middle of our campus. Drive down to the lot behind the building by the tennis courts. There are two visitor parking spots across the double doors. Enter in through the double doors, and immediately to your left is the Board Room.
What Do I Wear?
Visitors usually wear khakis and a nice shirt or their grade school uniform (if applicable) and comfortable shoes.
What Do I Bring?
You may bring along your own school work, a novel, or a magazine to read.
Can I Have My Friends Shadow The Same Day I Do?
Of course, we encourage visitors to bring their friends the same day they visit. You will see them throughout the day and at lunch.
