We are thrilled that you're interested in learning more about everything WRA has to offer. We are welcoming visitors to campus but due to COVID-19 health safety protocols we will be restricting visits to a campus tour and interview only. You will still be able to meet a student ambassador, safely tour our beautiful 190-acre campus, and ask tons of questions to our tour guides and admission directors!

Please plan on spending at least an hour and a half with us. This allows time for the campus tour and interview. We are sad you won't be able to experience a morning meeting or shadow day but we’d love to have you stay engaged! We’re happy to connect you virtually with our faculty members and coaches in your academic and extracurricular interests. Jump to our Visit page to learn more or schedule today by contacting our office at admission@wra.net or 330-650-9717.

We understand that not everyone can make it to campus. We’re happy to arrange a Skype interview with you so we can learn about each other. Another way for you to learn more about WRA is by registering for a Virtual Admission Event, which can be found on our events page. Please note that an interview is required as part of the application process.
