Hey guys! I'm currently exploring my different high school options and thinking about military boarding schools. I'm based in New York, and I was wondering if any of you could recommend some good military boarding schools around my area. Preferably, ones that balance academics, discipline, and extracurricular activities.
Sure! While there's a variety of military boarding schools throughout the US, there are a couple in New York that consistently get high remarks for their balanced emphasis on academics, discipline, and extracurriculars.
First, check out the New York Military Academy. It's located in Cornwall-on-Hudson, NY. This school not only has a strong emphasis on discipline and leadership skills but also boasts a diverse curriculum, offering a range of AP courses. Moreover, the school's faculty make an effort to create an environment that fosters personal growth.
Next, consider the Christian Brothers Academy in Albany. Though not strictly a military academy, this school has a Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) program. Its primary focus is on molding future leaders through a combined regimen of academics, military discipline, and extra-curricular activities.
These two suggestions are by no means exhaustive, but they can provide a good starting point in your search. Get in touch with them to ascertain which would best fit your preferences and goals. Good luck!
