Attend a Meeting Near You

LSMSA wants to meet you! Each fall, representatives from LSMSA travel throughout the state to visit with interested students and their families, answer their questions, and present what LSMSA has to offer. When available, parents of currently enrolled students and alumni living in the area are available to answer your questions from their first-hand experiences.

Families who live in or near Alexandria, Natchitoches, or Shreveport are encouraged to register to attend an Exploration Day at LSMSA in lieu of a regional meeting.

While we have concluded our Fall '23 travel, you can join our Enrollment Services staff for a Virtual Information Session: Tuesday, December 12, 2023 at 7:00 pm.

Attend an Exploration Day.

Exploration Days are an excellent opportunity to get a first-hand look at what LSMSA is all about. During these Open House events prospective students sit in on classes, while their parents hear from the school's administration. Parents and students tour the campus, hear from current LSMSA students, and have lunch in the dining hall. Exploration Days generally begin around 9:00 a.m. and conclude around 2:00 p.m. LSMSA will provide a letter for students to take to their schools confirming their attendance.

Fall 2023/Spring 2024 Exploration Days:

Monday, September 18th
Friday, November 10th
Monday, February 19th

Who Should Attend: We encourage students who are currently in the eighth grade or higher to attend an Exploration Day. Students who are younger than eighth grade who are traveling with their older sibling may attend; however, they should accompany their parents to all parent activities.

Join a Saturday tour.

If your schedule does not allow you to attend an Exploration Day, Saturday Tours offer an opportunity to see the campus and learn more about LSMSA, while visiting Natchitoches for one of our outstanding local events! To learn more about what's happening in Natchitoches, visit https://www.natchitoches.com/calendar.

Our next Saturday tour will be announced soon.

Take a private or semi-private weekday tour.

Private/Semi-Private Weekday Tours allow families to visit our campus and meet with Enrollment Services Staff. Private tours are scheduled primarily for Mondays or Fridays and take about 2 hours. Upon request, we can also arrange for the prospective student to sit in on one or more classes while on campus for a tour.

If possible, we recommend families attend an Exploration Day rather than scheduling a private tour, as more events are planned for those days. We do understand that not everyone's schedule will allow for them to attend those events and offer private tours as an alternative for those individuals.

Private/Semi-Private tours can be scheduled from the application checklist or by contacting our office at 318-357-2503 or admissions@lsmsa.edu.
