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.
 

Mentorship. Brotherhood. Academic Achievement.

  • Eleanor Burke

    Will is in his second year of the Darla Moore School of International Business at the University of South Carolina and is an active member of the KA Fraternity. To say Riverside prepared him for this path, and to live his best life is an understatement.

    The best decision for our son -- discipline, leadership, and camaraderie. A great recommendation was made to me by other families who had great experiences. Thank you, Riverside.

  • Nicole Baker

    My cadet just finished his first semester of Russian in a class where he's the only non-native speaker. He's actually learning the language and has the incredible opportunity to practice with native speakers. We appreciate the cultural diversity Riverside provides.

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.
