Scheduling a visit
Given the important role of academics at Taft, students often have very little free time during the academic day. Consequently, the “typical” school day visit is not always one where admissions representatives will likely see many of our students. You will, however, be able to meet with one of our four full-time college counselors. In an effort to allow college representatives greater access to our students in the fall, we will be holding four mini-college fairs each Tuesday evening throughout the month of October. To register for one of these, please click on the link below and follow the directions. If you are unable to attend one of our mini-fairs please consider one of the other options listed below.

Options for visiting Taft
1) During the lunch hours (11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.) when some students might be free.
2) Anytime during the school day from 8:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. to meet with one of our college counselors.
3) In the early evening before study hours begin (6:30 to 8:00 p.m.). These times are particularly effective for colleges and universities that typically receive many inquiries and applications from Taft students.
Finally, it is also our pleasure to offer space in our offices during the fall and winter for you to come to campus to interview our students. The best time for these interviews is in November of Early Decision and Early Action candidates and in January and February for regular decision candidates. We'd be happy to host you and can also let you know how many students have your college on their lists.
Please e-mail Cheryl Gatling to schedule a visit with the above considerations in mind.

Taft School campus.
The college office is located in the main building. If you come in the main gate
and turn right around the traffic circle, you will probably find a visitor
parking space. In the event that none are available, please park across the
street: proceeding left out the gate, turn right at the light, and again at your
first right into the parking lot.)
On the main circle there are two doors. Use the one on the left, near the bust
of Horace Taft. As you enter the building, take your first left down a short
hall; the college office is at the end of that hallway.
