Admissions
A Chance To Succeed

The Grand River Academy accepts students in grades 9 through 12 and Post-Graduate. The Academy recruits students who are able to do college preparatory work as determined by references and/or prior testing. We seek students who want to improve their grades; therefore, we do not necessarily see prior grades as a determining factor in forecasting a student's success at GRA.

The Academy is not a therapeutic school and cannot adequately serve students with problems beyond those found in the normal growing-up process.

A personal interview on campus is required of each applicant. Qualified students will be selected on the basis of that interview, documentation of ability, and references.


The Academy accepts and admits students on a rolling basis throughout the school year. For more information or to schedule an interview and tour, contact the office of Admissions, at (440)275-2811 or via e-mail.
