School Notes Overview: |
The Marine Military Academy of Harlingen, Texas is a private, college preparatory school for young boys in grades 8 to 12 and one year of postgraduate study. Marine is a challenging, traditional military school. The setting is structured and rules are enforced; the goal is to prepare young men for college. MMA is unique among all military schools and secondary institutions. Its very foundation was framed from the desire to emulate those tried and true Marine traditions and values that have earned the respect and gratitude of our great nation. The Corps of Cadets at MMA is comprised of young men from different cultural, economic, social, and academic backgrounds as any other educational institution. Some young men come to MMA with aspirations to one day attend a prestigious university or service academy, others come because they especially enjoy a structured, military environment.
