What about Military High Schools in Wisconsin?

Hey folks, just wondering if anyone has any info on military-style high schools in Wisconsin? I'm a junior mulling it over for my final year. Any insiders out there who can give me a rundown?

Sure, I can give you an overview of military high schools in Wisconsin. I believe there aren't too many traditional military style high schools in Wisconsin but I can give you details on one and some alternatives you could consider.

One of the main military-style high schools in your state is the St. John's Northwestern Academies, located in Delafield, Wisconsin. It's a blend of traditional and military-style education, with a grade six through twelve curriculum. The school is private and co-ed, and it offers both boarding and day student options. The military framework isn't about pressing students into service, but more about providing structure, building character, leadership and discipline. It has a strong focus on academics, athletics, and spiritual and character development. With smaller classes, personal attention to students is guaranteed. If you're considering it for your senior year, St. John's Northwestern could provide you a unique experience and preparation for your post-secondary plans, be it college or a military career.

Another option if you're interested in military schools, but can't find the right fit within Wisconsin, might be to look at schools out of state. For example, Culver Academies in Indiana or the Missouri Military Academy could also be worthwhile options to explore.

If it's not about the school per se, but the desire to have military training and discipline instilled, consider joining programs such as the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) offered in some high schools, or Civil Air Patrol (CAP). These student programs are designed to instill good citizenship, self-reliance, and leadership in students and can offer some of the discipline and structure found in a military high school setting.

Remember, the key approach is to understand your specific needs and aspirations to make an informed decision. This is a significant decision, and it's great you're taking the time to explore all your options.
