This school is a bad choice for ODD ADHD ADD boys; if your son is having disciplinary and grade issues at their current school; Grand River will not fix their problems, this is NOT a therapy school. I highly suggest that you consult with a therapeutic boarding school AFTER entering them into a wilderness program. Grand River has two types of boys that attend there - the foreign kids who want to go to a US school then onto a US college so it looks good on applications AND the US kids who have disciplinary/grade problems. There is a lot of contraband on campus - do not send your boys here if they have issues; spend your money on a therapeutic boarding school.

Many, if not most, of my fondest and favorite memories are my two years at GRA. Most of the students did not appreciate or understand why they were there, mostly lucky enough to have the opportunity to attend, but I knew in the first five minutes on campus of my first visit that this school was/is the place to be! I miss all the amazing people, Carol Koranda, the Hartz', Mr. Corlew, "Big Oak" Wooding, Miss Owens, Mrs. Russell, Mr. Blum, Dean Thomas, Miss Hendrick, Ms. Carrel, Mr. Archer, Mr. P (Petkovsek), Mr. Drexler, Mr. Kancler, Ms. Rhoads, and of course Mrs. Field and Edmund "Bud" Field. I always think of him when I hear Conway Twitty. I apologize for anyone I did not mention. I was one of a very few students lucky enough to spend both my junior and senior years living in Shepard Hall with the Fields, Hartz and Carol and Jakers. The other day i was walking around sundown and the sights and smells I was walking through took me back 15 years to that walk from Shepard to Armington for dinner, my walking changed to floating. Thank you everyone, EVERYONE, involved with the Grand River Academy past and present! If you don't already know, YOU are the ones whom make the memories so memorable! Thank you! Danny (Daghn) Doner

I was in GRA in the early 80s ...Miss Hubbard was one of my live in dorm supervisors...I want to thank her for her care in my sort term there...I was a young dumb kid and didn't appreciate the Love she gave...Thank you...It took many years aft to find my calling and find the Lord...The school was truly great, I was not...If ever one needed the Love and care this school provides, you will receive it...Thanks to you all, even Zeek...Smile! Praise be to God... Stephen Neff

My son is currently a senior at GRA; he loves the school. The teachers and staff are caring,the classes are preparing him for a challenging college experience, and the environment is friendly and supportive. As a parent, I am pleased that my son's entire high school career has been at Grand River Academy. He has made wonderful friends and learned much more about life in general by being at the school!

I arrived at The Grand River Academy as a lost and misguided boy at the age of 15 who had potential but was heading down the wrong path. I attended and lived at GRA my sophomore and junior years of high school and can honestly say that those two years were monumental for me. I hate to think about what would of happened to me had my parents not sent me there. I now have a wonderful family of my own, a great career, am an honorably discharged Marine Corps veteran, and have a BA and MA degree from a really great university. I would not be where I am today if it weren't for the wonderful teachers and staff of GRA. If you have boy who is underachieving and heading down the wrong path, I would highly recommend that you look into and consider sending him to GRA. They turn boys into young men and he will thank you for it one day. Trust me.
