The Academy seeks to provide for the intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual development of each student. The highly structured residential life program provides dormitory supervision in a 1:12 staff-to-student ratio. A school-wide program for Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) offers training in key life skills and includes a Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps unit. Male high school students who are U.S. citizens are required to participate in JROTC during their first semester at the Academy. Additional participation is voluntary.

The Learning Skills Program, staffed by 4 full-time learning specialists, provides individual assistance for students with documented mild to moderate learning differences. Opportunities exist for more advanced students to take more than 50 hours of dual-credit college courses. The Academy’s English as a Second Language program helps assimilate international students from 12 different countries. Rounding out the academic program are fine arts opportunities in visual arts, music and theater, vocal ensembles, and a concert/marching and a jazz band. With a full complement of sports and student activities offered, the Academy is a wonderful place for young people to grow and mature as they prepare for college and life afterward. ...read more
