Prospective students and their families are welcomed onto the LASA Campus. You will be able to walk around the school, attend an application workshop presentation, explore our many classes, and attend performances by our Fine Arts programs. Keep an eye out for the sessions where you can meet with current students or current parents to get their take on the LASA Experience. For families who can only attend one event on campus, we suggest you attend this one!

We will have 4 virtual Saturday sessions where students and parents can attend to get any help with the application from the LASA Mentoring Committee. These sessions are completely optional and run by parent volunteers. No LASA staff will be present and attending has no bearing on LASA acceptances.  We are here to help!
