Grand River Academy is an all-boys college preparatory boarding school that provides a transformative experience for each young man so that he can flourish and succeed in Northeast Ohio. Our students come from all over the world to help enrich the GRA community and develop a global mindset. With supportive and structured classes, teachers and students collaborate in developing methods for the students to learn best. By focusing on strengths, your son is empowered to take control of his education and his future. It's about inspiring growth, realizing potential, and gaining independence. We do this by breaking down the walls or education and reimagining what education is for the future that our boys will live in.
