Attend an Exploration Day

Exploration Days are the best opportunity to get a first-hand look at what LSMSA is all about. During these 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.

Who Should Attend: We encourage students who are currently in the eighth grade or higher to attend an Exploration Day or Open House. 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.

    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 or Open House 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. 

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