I'm currently based in Florida, and I'm wondering if there are any decent military high schools in or near my area? Recommendations, please!
Certainly! Florida does host a couple of esteemed military academies at the high school level that you might find appealing.
1. Florida Air Academy - Located in Melbourne, Florida, this is a college preparatory military academy that serves students in grades 6-12. It provides a disciplined academic environment and its students are known for their academic and athletic achievements.
2. The Admiral Farragut Academy - This is a co-ed, military-style school located in St. Petersburg and serves students from kindergarten up to 12th grade. It's known for its strong Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC) program and for being one of few schools nationwide to offer scuba diving as a sport.
Before you decide, I would recommend doing thorough research on each of these schools to understand their programs, culture, faculty, and student life, if they haven't done so already. This will help you ensure that the school you choose aligns with your aspirations and personal needs.
Best of luck with your search!
