As a parent or caregiver, you’ve done your research online, spoken with friends, sought out more information—and now it’s time for a virtual visit.  But much like everything else in 2020, private school admissions have changed. Many schools are foregoing on-campus tours, open houses, and visits in favor of a completely online experience to ensure the health and safety of their students, faculty, and staff. To help you out, we’ve put together a checklist of things to consider before, during, and after your virtual visit to aid you in your decision-making process.   [![Get Your Free Cheat Sheet](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/4485382/fcc1253c-1c34-4471-ad30-c59152e0ff22.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/4485382/fcc1253c-1c34-4471-ad30-c59152e0ff22) Back [**6425 FIFTH AVENUE, PITTSBURGH, PA 15206**](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Current+Location/6425+FIFTH+AVENUE+PITTSBURGH+PA+15206) [412.661.5992](tel:4126615992)  |  [admissions@theellisschool.org](mailto:admissions@theellisschool.org) [![The Ellis School](https://blog.theellisschool.org/hubfs/The_Ellis_School_May2018/Images/EllisLogo2018_Boxed_RGB.jpg)](https://www.theellisschool.org) - [![Facebook](https://blog.theellisschool.org/hubfs/The_Ellis_School_May2018/Images/large_link1163165_74929.png) ![Facebook](https://blog.theellisschool.org/hubfs/The_Ellis_School_May2018/Images/hover_link1163165_74929.png)](https://www.facebook.com/EllisSchool) - [![Twitter](https://blog.theellisschool.org/hubfs/The_Ellis_School_May2018/Images/large_link1163166_74930.png) ![Twitter](https://blog.theellisschool.org/hubfs/The_Ellis_School_May2018/Images/hover_link1163166_74930.png)](https://twitter.com/theellisschool) - [![Instagram](https://blog.theellisschool.org/hubfs/The_Ellis_School_May2018/Images/large_link1163167_74931.png) ![Instagram](https://blog.theellisschool.org/hubfs/The_Ellis_School_May2018/Images/hover_link1163167_74931.png)](https://instagram.com/theellisschool/) [![The Ellis School](https://blog.theellisschool.org/hubfs/The_Ellis_School_May2018/Images/EllisLogo2018_Boxed_RGB.jpg)](https://www.theellisschool.org) [**6425 FIFTH AVENUE, PITTSBURGH, PA 15206**](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Current+Location/6425+FIFTH+AVENUE+PITTSBURGH+PA+15206) [412.661.5992](tel:4126615992) [admissions@theellisschool.org](mailto:admissions@theellisschool.org) - [![Facebook](https://blog.theellisschool.org/hubfs/The_Ellis_School_May2018/Images/large_link1163165_74929.png) ![Facebook](https://blog.theellisschool.org/hubfs/The_Ellis_School_May2018/Images/hover_link1163165_74929.png)](https://www.facebook.com/EllisSchool) - [![Twitter](https://blog.theellisschool.org/hubfs/The_Ellis_School_May2018/Images/large_link1163166_74930.png) ![Twitter](https://blog.theellisschool.org/hubfs/The_Ellis_School_May2018/Images/hover_link1163166_74930.png)](https://twitter.com/theellisschool) - [![Instagram](https://blog.theellisschool.org/hubfs/The_Ellis_School_May2018/Images/large_link1163167_74931.png) ![Instagram](https://blog.theellisschool.org/hubfs/The_Ellis_School_May2018/Images/hover_link1163167_74931.png)](https://instagram.com/theellisschool/) - [CONTACT US](https://www.theellisschool.org/contact-us) - [CAREERS](https://www.theellisschool.org/careers) - [DIRECTIONS](https://www.theellisschool.org/directions) - [ONLINE STORE](https://pro3services.com/find-my-school/the-ellis-school/) - [FACILITY RENTALS](https://www.theellisschool.org/facility-rentals) - [PRIVACY POLICY](https://www.theellisschool.org/privacy-policy) - [Inquire](https://www.theellisschool.org/admission/inquire) - [Visit Us](https://www.theellisschool.org/admission/visit) - [Tuition](https://www.theellisschool.org/admission/tailored-tuition)
