FAQ >>

What time should I arrive and where do I go?
Gonzaga Prep is located at 1224 E. Euclid Ave. in Spokane; however our main entrance is off the N. Perry St. parking lot on the East side of campus. Open sign-up dates include a coffee social at 9:00 am in our main school building. Otherwise, parents should drop students off at the main entrance to the school by 9:25 am. Students will start the day promptly at 9:30 am in the Chapel of the Three Companions, located just to the west of the parking lot. (Look for the big statue!) Our program will conclude at 1:15 pm. Parents should pick students up from the same parking lot as drop-off.

What do I need to bring, and what should I wear?
Students may bring a water bottle if desired, and all visitors need to follow the Gonzaga Prep Dress Code. Students will also be asked to put away cell phones for the day. Please review our Cell Phone Policy.

What if my student has dietary restrictions?
We will provide small snacks, and students will get to go through the lunch line and select a complimentary entrée and side dish. While there is a variety of healthy options, our cafeteria may not be able to accommodate all dietary needs. You may bring your own sack lunch if you would prefer.

I'm currently a high school student. Can I attend a Bullpup Preview?
We welcome prospective transfer students to shadow a current Prep student for a full school day. Please contact Admissions to arrange a day that works for you.

I'm an 8th grader. Can I attend a Bullpup Preview?
Yes! While we are primarily offering Bullpup Previews for 7th graders, you are welcome to attend in 8th grade if you did not have a chance to attend your 7th grade year.

With high school right around the corner, 8th graders are invited to experience a day in the life of a current Gonzaga Prep student. We carefully match each student with a Bullpup who shares similar interests. 8th graders accompany students to all classes and lunch (provided by Gonzaga Prep at no additional cost). We encourage all kids considering Gonzaga Prep for high school to be on campus, interact with our outstanding faculty and be welcomed by our Bullpup community. Contact us if your student could benefit from this opportunity.
