This page is designed to help you through the onboarding process and prepare for the first day of school. You will find simple steps, important information, and all the documents required. Our goal is to make this process clear and easy for you.
Starting at a new school is an important moment, and we are here to support you every step of the way. We look forward to meeting you soon and helping your family have a smooth and happy start.
We are excited to invite your family to campus for Orientation and have a wonderful day planned to help you feel connected, prepared, and ready for the start of school.
This will be a great opportunity to meet other new Stamford American families, connect with our school community, and take care of important back-to-school preparations. Families will be able to visit our information booths to purchase uniforms, top up meal plans, and connect with departments including CCAs, transportation, Athletics, technology, and other areas of school life at Stamford American.
