Military schools offer an attractive mainstream educational experience with emphasis on character development, leadership training, and academic excellence.

    This takes place in a structured and disciplined context that is both physically and morally healthy. Cadets are challenged to develop self-discipline and to reach their full potential in every way--intellectually, physically and spiritually. Cooperation, teamwork, and shared purpose are integral parts of the experience.

    While they share the attributes of a military and the benefits that offers, these differ in other respects, including size, location, range of grades enrolled, cost, and in some cases religious orientation. Many have widely known specialty programs in such things as band music, horseback riding, and sports. All feature close supervision and mentoring by mature staff and faculty members.

    The predominant military program is Army-oriented, but some military schools offer Navy, Marine or Air Force versions. Some also have summer programs, and a few provide a post-graduate year for high school graduates wishing to better prepare to enter college. Nearly all are boarding schools, with some also accepting day students from their local communities.
