Are there Military Boarding Schools near colleges?

I've always been interested in both military discipline and academic pursuits, so I'm trying to explore my options. Are there any military boarding schools that are located conveniently close to colleges? It would be great to hear about any experiences or advice regarding this.

Absolutely, there are military boarding schools that are situated near colleges, which can provide great opportunities for students interested in both military discipline and academic pursuits.

For instance, one such school is Fishburne Military School in Virginia, which is located just a short distance from several universities such as Mary Baldwin University, James Madison University, University of Virginia, and Virginia Military Institute. This would allow students to potentially take advantage of college-level courses, activities, academic resources and community services while studying at Fishburne.

On another note, you may also want to consider the Culver Academies in Indiana, which are located near the University of Notre Dame. These academies have a strong reputation and numerous opportunities for students.

Similarly, Hargrave Military Academy in Virginia is just a short distance away from colleges like Averett University and Danville Community College. Other reputable ones include St. John's Military School in Kansas, which is near Kansas Wesleyan University, and Riverside Military Academy in Georgia, which is conveniently close to Brenau University.

Again, these are just examples. Depending on your location and preferences, there may be other suitable options near you. As for advice on the matter, it would be prudent to shadow a student for a day or attend an open house if possible, to help you get a feel for the facilities, the staff, and the overall environment of the military boarding school. Also, don't forget to consider other important factors aside from proximity to colleges, such as curriculum, graduation rates, school culture, and post-graduation support services.

I hope this information is helpful to you as you explore your options!
