Current 8th-grade boys will be paired with a Monsignor Farrell High School student for the school day.  During their visit, they will attend classes, meet students and faculty, and be treated to lunch at Denino's at the Den in our cafeteria.

On the day of their appointment, students should arrive at the main office by 9:00 am, sharp, where they will meet with the Director of Admissions and their host student. Students should dress in business casual attire or their school uniform, if they have one.

All students who complete a shadow day will receive a letter from Monsignor Farrell High School excusing them from school for the day.   Complete details will be emailed once your shadow day is booked.  If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Vin Nabavi '11, Director of Admissions & Recruitment. 718.987.2900 ext 1273.

We look forward to showing you why Monsignor Farrell High School is the leader in all-boys college preparatory education!
