So after the longest airplane ride of my life, we finally made it here. Before we even had time to realize that we were here, we were brought right to school. Luckily, Hannah, my host, didn't have any morning classes, so I wasn't forced to think about school right away. After politics and english class, I was brought to my host family's house which is just up the street from school. Hopefully, I will be able to get a good night of sleep tonight because the two hours on the plane didn't do too much for me.

Exchange Program
- WESTERN RESERVE ACADEMY
- In 2002, Western Reserve Academy established an exchange program with the Caterham School in Caterham, England. Each year, six to eight students from WRA spend two weeks at the Caterham campus in Surrey attending classes and participating in sports and extracurricular activities. The school's proximity to London, with easy access by train, offers Reserve students an opportunity to attend a variety of Caterham-sponsored activities, including an afternoon at Wimbledon, an evening in London's theater district, museum visits, day trips to Oxford or Cambridge and other cultural and educational opportunities. In the fall, six to eight Caterham students visit Western Reserve Academy for two weeks, attending classes, participating in sports and taking advantage of trips to Cleveland, Washington, D.C. and other points of cultural and historical significance. The exchange program is open to WRA juniors, who apply for selection in the spring of their junior year. Selections are made by history department faculty based on student essays and in-person interviews.
