Enrollment Tips:
Request a Space Hold- You can request a space hold as you decide at no cost. You'll have time to research prior to submitting any applications.
Enrollment Tips-
-
Request a "Space Hold" A "space hold" gives serious applying families a small grace period as they make final decisions and complete applications without any financial commitment.
-
Request a "Parent Reference" Often veteran parents will share experiences that administration would not think to offer. Plus, experienced parents have been through the same dilemmas and better understand your concerns.

Earning your New River Academy diploma is a proud day for you and your family..
Easy to Apply Applications
During Phase I families express interest in New River Academy. New River Academy will learn your academic needs and goals, check references, and assess kayak abilities with the goal of approving your New River Academy “acceptance letter.” During Phase I you are not financially committed to enrollment and will place yourself at an advantage by completing Phase I early.
Phase II Application
When/if you receive your “acceptance letter” you will receive a Phase II Application. Legal documents such as waivers, med forms, and the alcohol and drug contract will be completed. When you submit the Phase II Application with your deposit, then you have secured the next seat available for a New River Academy semester and will become officially enrolled.
Download Explanation of Costs.
Often, schools or businesses will not publish costs of a product when they feel the cost will shock the family. It is important for New River Academy as a quality institution to publish tuition and additional fees upfront to illustrate the value of this educational opportunity. Please be encouraged to compare these costs to other boarding schools and discover for yourself the value.
Who does New River Academy accept?
This question seems more appropriately answered with who is not accepted? New River Academy is not an at-risk program and does not accept students who have been suspended, encountered drug, alcohol, or defiance related issues.
New River Academy seeks advanced placement students, families who prioritize learning, and are passionate for the outdoors and living an adventurous life. What if you have a learning disability or need to be challenged? Yes, the ratio of teachers to students provides an excellent educational model for learning disabilities and gifted students.
Receiving your New River Academy “Acceptance Letter”
You will be excited the day your “acceptance letter” arrives in the mail. The “acceptance letter” is your ticket to an inspiring education, cultural exploration, leadership learning, and kayak adventures. Arriving with your “acceptance letter” will be the Phase II Application.
Who takes care of transferring the transcript?
Accredited college preparatory school systems legally must transfer from one school system to the other via legal documents. Within your Phase II Application you will complete the “Permission to Release Student Records” document. By simply completing this release you have permitted New River Academy administration to take care of this task. It is that simple.
What Next?
You will receive travel directions, a pack list, letters explaining what to expect, and school related information via emails and phone calls. Your first week of school will be a series of orientations, team building activities, commencement of classes, safety instruction, and fun kayaking.
This page provides you with a sample pack list that will give you a best idea of how to prep for your upcoming semester.
