Been thinking hard about my future recently and I kinda like the idea of attending a military high school. Can anybody suggest some reputable ones? Preferably, I'd love to hear from students/alumni who've had first-hand experience.
Sure, I can suggest some schools to you. Please note, instructions are key in these institutions and they often have a rigorous academic and disciplined lifestyle.
1. United States Military Academy Preparatory School in West Point, NY. This is a prep school specifically for those planning to attend the U.S Military Academy in West Point.
2. Randolph-Macon Academy in Front Royal, VA. It's known for their Air Force JROTC program, and it also provides a university-preparatory curriculum
3. New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, NM is a public co-ed boarding high school and junior college with a great reputation.
4. Fork Union Military Academy in Fork Union, VA; it's all male, but has a longstanding reputation for preparing students for leadership roles.
5. Culver Military Academy in Culver, IN offers leadership development and a college-preparatory curriculum.
6. Norwich University in Northfield, VT, also deserves a mention. It's not a high school but it does have a four-year Army ROTC program that grants high school scholarships.
Remember, these are structured environments which can be very different from traditional high schools. Consider if the military discipline and training aspect is truly suitable for you.
