Our 360 Approach →
DEVELOPING THE TOTAL YOUNG MAN:
ACADEMICALLY, SOCIALLY, EMOTIONALLY
Activate your true potential. Responsible and educated students are developed through a structured yet flexible atmosphere. We'll guide you through every step.
From snacking at Andy's cafe, to playing music, to participating in a sport on campus, you get to express your true self at GRA. You can take advantage of the library, the gym, the weight room, or the various clubs GRA has to offer during activities. Whether you need to blow off some energy with your friends or take some time to yourself, if there's not already an option -- you can create one with a faculty member.
On weekends, you can even plan off-campus events, such as concerts, hiking, paintball, and sporting events, in Cleveland, Youngstown, and Erie.

Grand River was a great experience. I got to explore a whole new setting and connect with a lot of students with different backgrounds."
Boarding school is a transition and a challenge, and that's why we offer unlimited support to every student. Your teachers and counselors will meet you where you are. We'll help you identify your learning styles, discover your independence, and learn to think critically. We're here to help you explore your interests and assist you with your college search as well.
It's pretty exciting going to college. I never thought that would happen, but Grand River gave me a good opportunity."
