When the COVID-19 pandemic started early last year, institutions both large and small were forced to adapt to keep themselves afloat. With all activities deemed impossible to conduct in-person, private and charter schools were left to find a solution to replace their standard school tours. Many solutions were proposed. Whether it was staggered in-person tours with deep cleaning in between or pamphlets stuffed to the gills with information about the school, no solution could give that human quality they were looking for.  

Thus, Virtual tours became a school’s most important tool to attract new students. Their websites were overhauled, and new descriptions of every aspect of the school were made. Yet their saving grace was not Zoom classes, it was the virtual tour.

Virtual tours have been taking the academic world by storm, giving prospective students and their families around the globe the ability to experience what your institution has to offer. We at Virtual 360 NYC have years of experience in creating personalized virtual tours for institutions and buildings of every size.

Vital to the future of any institution, virtual tours allow its administrators to cast a wider net of potential students than ever before. Schools without one will soon find themselves behind the pack fighting tooth and nail for the best and brightest pupils considering their next academic step.

Additionally, once in-person tours are allowed again, virtual tours will continue to play a role in a school's recruiting strategy. No in-person tour can cover everything an institution has to offer. Especially for parents, a virtual tour will be able to highlight aspects of the school that were either glossed over during the original tour or skipped altogether. It seems apparent that virtual tours have become more important than ever before. 

Make sure your institution stays ahead of the pack with a personal, highly detailed virtual tour.
