Typical Daily Routine:

Healthy competition and activities permeate the academic, military and athletic events that fill a Cadet's day. Each weekday begins promptly at 0600 with sounds of reveille -- a signal that tells all Cadets that they have 10-minutes to get up, make their bed, get dressed and 'fall-out' for a morning physical training (PT) session. After 30-minutes of PT that consists of calisthenics and a run with their company, Cadets assemble at the mess hall for breakfast. Following breakfast, they return to their barracks to shower and get dressed for school.

Prior to the first class period that begins at 8:50, Cadets clean their rooms or attend to other such duties. They fall-out once again for a morning uniform inspection and colors formation. Four 45-minute academic classes fill the morning and at 12:00 the Cadets are ready for lunch. During a noon time military formation called Pass In Review, Cadets march to the tunes of the MMA band down the Battalion Street and file into the mess hall, one company at a time. After a 60-minute lunch break, Cadets return to two more afternoon classes followed by tutorials which go from 2:55-3:25. Tutorials are mandatory if a Cadet's grade falls below a 70% average in any class on a weekly basis.

At 4:00 Cadets participate in their sport or activity until dinner which is served from 6:00 - 7:00. At 7:00 the Cadets report back to their barracks for a supervised evening study period called CCQ or Closed Call to Quarters. After CCQ at about 9:15, the Cadets have time to relax, shine their shoes and prepare for the next busy day ahead and at 10:00, taps signals it's lights out!

Marine Military Academy has a strict 'zero-tolerance' drug policy. Our drug awareness and education program consists of classroom instruction and a random urinalysis program which acts as a deterrence.

The safety of our Cadets is paramount. The Academy provides adult supervision and locks on individual Cadet rooms.
