I owe so much, first to God, but then to the staff and faculty of this once fine and great academy. While I attended NYMA, the Corp was at 500 plus. I am proud of this once-great Academy. The faculty was at one time above reproach! We had faculty with Ph'D from many great Universities such as MIT and the United States Air Force Academy. I owe everything to God and this once great school. I am proud to say that I graduated from NYMA. Thank you NYMA!

Extraordinary leadership defines NYMA. Specifically, my daughter's self-confidence was catapulted by the structure and discipline expected and required. The preparation for real-world experiences, specifically how to deal with adversity, exceeded all my expectations. Impeccable cadet training pushes our youth to be the best they can be. NYMA prepares LEADERS who are not only well educated but can handle life's challenges with tact and skill. I am so very proud of my daughter for her achievements at NYMA.
