SCHEDULE A VISIT
Whether you are coming from away or have lived in Portland, Maine all your life, you need to experience Waynflete for yourself. We invite families to visit campus to get a better sense of the informal moments that make Waynflete special. Through tours, student visits, and a short parent interview, we hope you will come away with a greater understanding of our school. We will work with your family to make your visit as convenient and enjoyable as possible.
For families interested in the 2025-26 school year, parent visits begin in October. Student visits begin in November for all three divisions (Lower, Middle, and Upper).
Lower School
Parents of students in Early Childhood, Kindergarten, and Grade 1 programs typically tour the school first and then schedule a visit for their child in January. Students interested in grade 2 will spend the morning (8:15-10:45 a.m.) in our Lower School. Students interested in grades 3-5 will spend the full day on campus, and the visit begins at 8:00 a.m.
Lunch is provided for visitors spending the full day on campus. Lower School visitors should bring clothing appropriate for outdoor play (boots, raincoat, snow pants, hats, and mittens), as students participate in recess in all kinds of weather. Visitors should also bring a mid-morning snack, a pair of sneakers for a physical education class, and a silent reading book.
Middle and Upper School
Prospective students interested in grades 6-11 will spend a half-day on campus to experience a day in the life of a Waynflete student. With a group of fellow prospective students, visitors will attend classes, explore campus, and learn more about the program directly from our Division Directors, teachers, and current students. These visit days start at 8:00 a.m. and conclude at 12:15 p.m. Lunch is included.
Waynflete does not have a student dress code, please dress to be comfortable.
