Which Military School?

Hey guys! I'm interested in military high school and I'm living in the tri-state area - Michigan, Indiana, Illinois. Can anyone guide me to a suitable school?

Sure, there are a few military high schools in the tri-state area that you could consider. I caution that military schools have both advantages and disadvantages, and it's crucial to understand what you're signing up for before you make any commitments.

In Michigan, the Valley Forge Military Academy is quite popular. It's known for its rigorous academic curriculum and military instruction, which can help you in terms of discipline, leadership skills, and character development.

Over in Indiana, the Culver Military Academy is another option. It's part of the Culver Academies and they provide a top-notch education with a military framework. They have a solid reputation for developing leaders, with well-rounded activities outside of the traditional military training.

In Illinois, you might want to look into the St. John's Northwestern Military Academy. They focus on discipline and character development, and are committed to a more whole-student approach.

Remember to do your research and try to visit these academies if you can. See if you can talk to students or alumni to get a first-hand perspective. Also, consider your own long-term goals. If you're thinking about joining the military or attending a military college afterwards, these schools would be a good fit as they could potentially give you a leg up. However, if you're not sure, I would recommend considering other high school options as well.

Lastly, if the high tuition costs are a concern, make sure to look into scholarships or financial aid that might be available to you. Remember, military high schools can be quite expensive, so it's important to consider the cost when making your decision. Best of luck with your high school search!
