Tours and Information Sessions Fall 2023

We have a variety of in-person and virtual events scheduled so that you and your family can get to know us better. These events will happen from November 2023 – January 2024. Please keep in mind that attending an open house or tour is not a requirement for admission to BHSEC. Students are not penalized in any way during the admissions process by not attending these events.

In-Person Tours – registration is NOT required.

Please join our Student Ambassadors who are current students at Bard Queens for an in-person walking tour of our building. These tours happen after school, are an hour long, and begin at 4:00 pm. All adults entering our building must bring ID and proof of vaccination. Registration is not required, just show up.

Dates will be posted in October 2023
