Spring time is here and that means great whitewater. It also means school is almost out for the year. Many of you have been considering New River Academy but are not quite sure whether you should apply or not. One of the best ways to help make this an informed and comfortable decision is to visit the high school.
By visiting the high school you will have the opportunity to discuss the school with students your age. Also, you can get to know a few of the students as well. You will also be able to meet the teachers and coaches. This allows you to ask questions about coaching and academics, how the daily schedule works, and to learn more about next years destinations.
What about homework and missed school days? Did you know most schools will work with New River Academy and actually send your homework assignments? If you want to stay with New River Academy for up to a week then call administration in order to help secure your absences and homework assignments. Once homework assignments are secure then you can sit in on the equivalent class with your New River Academy peers.

Are there costs?
The family day banquet dinner and paddle has a lunch, shuttle fee, and dinner cost. The other days we charge $30/day in order to cover food and lodging of each destination. Your coaching, educational tutoring, and transportation are all free as part of your invitation to visit.
What are the best times to visit? Below you can review our schedule to see when we will be in your neck of the woods. We will also plan time to meet with your family. A best time for families is the end of year banquet dinner and family day paddle on the New River Gorge. It is a great time to meet students, staff, and families. This allows your family to get a best idea of what to expect should you decide to apply to New River Academy.
