Hello y'all! I want to get into a military college, and I'm considering switching to a military-oriented high school for preparation. Can anyone recommend some good military high schools in Arizona? I've heard there are a couple good ones out there.
There are indeed a couple of military-oriented high schools in Arizona that might be a good fit for you depending on your specific goals and location.
1. Arizona Agribusiness & Equine Center (AAEC) – Estrella Mountain: This school offers a Military Science program designed to prepare students for military college or other pathways in the armed services.
2. Canyon State Academy in Queen Creek: Not a traditional school but a boys-only program for troubled teens offering a military style environment. Great if you seek discipline, though it might not be the right fit if you're aiming for a more traditional academic environment.
3. Metropolitan Arts Institute in Phoenix: This school doesn't have a military focus, but it offers JROTC, which could provide that military element you're looking for in a more traditional academic setting.
Keep in mind that while these schools can certainly help you prepare for a military college, they aren't required for admission—it's always the individual who matters most. No matter where you attend high school, you can still focus on strengthening your application by maintaining good grades, participating in extracurricular activities, and demonstrating leadership skills. Good luck with your decision!
