Military Preparatory Schools

Marine Military Academy teaches young men the skills they need to excel in their college career.

Military prep schools, such as MMA, strive to prepare young men for a life of success by giving them the tools they need to become strong, well-rounded adults. One of the main goals at MMA is to prepare each one of our cadets for their college career. Our focus on academic excellence teaches our cadets to maintain their motivation and to work through our challenging curriculum, in order to go beyond what they believed they could achieve.

Benefits of Attending a Military Prep School

Numerous long-term studies have been conducted to investigate the benefits of attending a boarding school, including military preparatory schools such as MMA. A well-respected study carried out by the United States Department of Education has discovered that students who attend a boarding school:

• Waste less time watching television compared to public school students
• Excel while taking advanced classes
• Choose to be involved in activities, such as sports and clubs, that promote teamwork and leadership skills
• Have a plan of action in regards to attending, and graduating, from college

Developmental Opportunties

A 2004 study conducted by The Association of Boarding Schools (TABS) found additional benefits for attending a military prep school:

• The leadership skills and community awareness learned while at school carry on long after graduation
• Students who attend a boarding school achieve positions of management faster, and go on to higher management positions than their public school counterparts
• Attending boarding school is not a punishment, or a place to be “sent away”—students choose to enroll in these institutions to take advantage of the academic opportunities

Academic Excellence

Marine Military Academy has perfected a challenging academic curriculum to prepare our cadets for the rigorous coursework that awaits them when they attend college. Additional advantages of our school include small class sizes and a teacher to student ratio that allows for personalized attention. Parents can confidently enroll their son at MMA knowing that he will learn the following valuable skills:

• Goal setting
• Properly managing time
• Studying in order to reach academic achievements
• Accepting responsibility for his actions and choices
