A 2004 study for The Association of Boarding Schools (TABS) a non-profit association, confirms that boarding schools, including military prep schools, do indeed prepare students to be successful. The results indicate that:

  • The leadership skills and community focus gained continues to play an important and distinguishing role in their lives beyond the experience itself.
  • Students are more likely to achieve positions of management earlier in their careers than their peers at private day or public schools, and reach higher management positions throughout their careers.
  • Students are not "sent away," but choose to enroll primarily because of the high quality academics.
