Families and supporters are invited to join their students for move-in day and family orientation programming.

Take this time to help your student set up their bedroom, enjoy a meal together at one of Granville’s restaurants, and attend orientation programming specifically created for new families. Information about selecting a move-in time slot will be sent to your student in July.

2027 family orientation dates to be announced.
