A key element of all private schools with a Junior ROTC program is a focus on the leadership training provided to young men to develope great leadership skills such as; intellectualism, independence, patriotism, and compassion.

The overall mission of the JROTC program is ”to instill in students in United States secondary educational institutions the values of citizenship, service to the United States, and personal responsibility and a sense of accomplishment."

Marine Military Academy established itself apart from most of the military schools in that it is based on the time-honored customs and traditions of the U.S. Marine Corps. Unlike many private schools with a Junior ROTC program, Marine Military Academy does not just have a one-hour class for military science and wear a uniform once a week. Our cadets are immersed in the JROTC program every day. The instilled discipline, goal orientation, and initiative of military leadership training are directed toward scholastic achievement.
