On Saturday morning, we had an early start and all Reserve students and their hosts went into London for the day. We broke into smaller groups because it was too hard to keep twenty people together. My group spent most of the time at the various shops in the Camden Market and then we all met up again. While waiting for the group to gather, some of us watched a street performer. This very rude man claimed to be an American, actually spit water on a few of us for not moving closer to where he was performing.
The next morning, after I finally got a full night of sleep, we all went to the town fair. It was a gathering to raise money for a local charity with a merry go round and lots of other booths with games. It was a non-stop weekend filled with lots of memorable events.

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.
