"Before attending MMA, Peter had no desire to
attend college. MMA helped him to realize how bright he is and gave
him the incentive to want to accomplish. He will be attending the
College of Engineering at Drexel University in the Fall."

A mandatory Evening Study Period is held each school
night. This provides a supervised, enforced study time during which
all cadets complete their homework assignments in a
quiet, conducive learning environment.
 Daily tutorials are held each morning during
which time
cadets may return to their instructor to receive additional
instruction or receive help completing homework. All cadets who have
a D or an F in a course may attend this period.
An Academic Mentor, who is a member of the
faculty, works with eight to ten cadets, to ensure they are doing
well in in their academic, leadership, character, and physical
development. Your cadet’s mentor will keep in touch with parents via
telephone, e-mail, and/or mail, keeping you up to date on your
cadet’s progress.

MMA exceeds the standards of learning set forth by
