How many school visits in one day?

Hi everyone - thanks so much for your help so far! As we start to narrow down schools to the ones our student wants to visit, we need to make a plan to visit as many as possible during our brief stay in the US. We have one week where we have no plans at all so far during our visit and had been planning to just relax at our Airbnb in Woodstock, VT. However, plans change and now we are thinking to do some trips to visit schools that week.

Is it even possible to visit three schools in a day if they are all fairly close together? For example, could we visit Holderness, New Hampton, and Proctor (morning, late morning/early afternoon, and afternoon) since they are all within less than an hour of each other? Or, Middlesex, Concord Academy, and St. Mark’s. I could even see us trying a stretch day like Berkshire, Emma Willard, Millbrook in one day.

We want to visit as many as possible, but also don’t want to stretch ourselves too much each day. How long did you typically spend at a school (assume there won’t be an interview as most of the schools don’t start interviews until the fall - so far only Middlesex has said they will do one)? We would want to see if we could meet with/chat with the XC coach if at all possible as that is one of our daughter’s “must haves” and we want to be sure she likes the coach at least a little.

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
