There's no other way to say it: We are pretty great! Though it's not in our nature to boast — we have a lot to tout. Architectural Digest named us the most beautiful private school in Ohio; Niche has ranked us the #1 high school for STEM, the most diverse private high school in Ohio and the best private high school in our state; The New York Times once paid us a visit; and our students, parents, alumni members like it here so much, they sang about it!

It'll make all the difference in the college application process. This year, current parent and educational consultant Christine Chapman sat down with Head of School Suzanne Walker Buck and answered a question she's often asked: "People ask me all the time — why would you leave New England and send your daughter all the way out to Ohio? ...Western Reserve Academy always was on the top of my list... It has facilities that exceed other top facilities in New England... and there is the advantage of applying to college from Ohio as opposed to New England. And there was a part of me that felt that this would be a safe space for my daughter." Watch the full interview.

The Hudson Factor! We are mere steps away from an idyllic small town! We're so close that we did a whole video about it (a must-see). Our students take full advantage of the chance to grab bubble tea from Ming's or a cheddar scone from Open Door Coffee Co.

It's just nicer here! The benefit of being in the heartland of the country is that we have a lot of heart! Our community is warm and inviting, and the second people step into our small town of Hudson and walk through our campus — they feel it immediately.
