Members of the admissions team also make visits to local grammar schools during the academic day to speak to students about IHA and the high school admissions process.

Rookie Camp for Incoming Freshmen
Rookie Camp is an optional two-day mini-orientation offered each year for incoming freshmen designed to acclimate our new Blue Eagles to IHA's academic, social, and extracurricular experiences. We will focus on these themes while addressing common concerns and questions of incoming freshmen. Rookie Camp is a great opportunity to meet new classmates and make some new friends before beginning at IHA in the fall!
