Experience Riverside
for yourself.

Get a first-hand look at the excitement of student life, tour our campus and facilities, and imagine the possibilities. We look forward to meeting you and helping you determine if Riverside is the right fit for your son and your family.

Open House

This half-day experience includes a guided tour of our beautiful 206-acre campus followed by a Parent Question and Answer Session. Prospective students will have the opportunity to meet with current cadets as well as attend a separate information session. A school fair will be open so you can speak to faculty and athletic coaches.

Our next Open House is scheduled for Saturday, November 16, 2024, from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.

Eagle for a Day

Join us for a shadow experience that will show, first-hand, what life is like at Riverside. We produce leaders of character prepared for success in college and beyond through the provision of a rigorous academic program, leadership opportunities, competitive athletics and the structure and discipline inherent in a preparatory school using the modified military model of leadership development.
 
One of our current students will be the guide for this exceptional dive into the culture of our academy. They will spend the day together in classes, eat lunch in the dining hall, and have an opportunity to see after-school sports and activities. The Riverside experience is a unique and exciting challenge, but what’s far more exciting are the rewards that come from accepting it.
 

Private Tours

An Admissions representative is available to help you experience Riverside through a private campus tour. During a campus tour, you will see our facilities, meet faculty and staff, and get a feel for cadet camaraderie and a nurturing environment. To schedule a visit, call 1-877-692-2338 or email apply@riversideprep.org.


Virtual Tours

There's no better way to experience Riverside than to visit the campus, but a physical visit isn't always feasible. Taking a guided virtual tour with cadets is another way to get a feel for our beautiful campus as well as the cadet experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

List of 3 items.

  • What is the difference between an Open House and a Private Tour?

    At an open house, you will hear from the President and other senior staff, tour the campus, and meet cadets, coaches, and department heads as available. It is a great overview, but given the large numbers of attendees, we may not have the ability to drill down to specific questions about your family’s unique needs.  An individualized campus tour is much more personal to your individual needs because it is just your family and your admissions counselor.
  • When are private tours offered and how long do they last?

    Typically we offer campus tours Monday - Friday. On average, a tour lasts approximately two hours. Wear comfortable shoes as we will be walking throughout campus and talking about the program while as we go. 
  • Does Riverside travel to meet families?

    Yes, the admissions staff travels regularly to host Riverside Meetups in cities/states where we have a lot of prospective and current families. These events are free, informal, and informative ways to extend campus to you and to provide a forum to ask questions of local Riverside families and staff. Riverside admissions staff members also frequently travel to international locations for recruitment purposes.

    Dates and locations will be announced as they are scheduled.
