A DAY IN THE LIFE
A Full Day
Our commitment to fueling the mind, body, and spirit permeates every minute of the cadet’s day. Filled with healthy competition in the classroom and self-affirming activities outside, each day brings the cadet closer to a greater sense of self-discipline and accomplishment.0610
