Graduation Requirements

Cadets may pursue the "College Prep" diploma or the "Advanced Studies" diploma.   All cadets take classes each year in four core subject areas -- English, history, math, and science.

Advanced Studies Diploma

College Preparatory Diploma

Standard High School Diploma

If a cadet's efforts fall short of MMA College Prep Diploma requirements, the Academy may award a standard high school diploma based on credit totals that meet Virginia Department of Education requirements. 

International Diploma

The International Diploma is an option for foreign students who require instruction in English as a Second Language (ESL) and who do not wish to pursue studies of additional foreign languages (as required for College Prep and Advanced diplomas).  Coursework provides rigorous preparation for success in U.S. colleges and universities and abroad.  Many foreign students choose to pursue the Advanced Studies or College Prep diplomas after successfully completing an initial year of ESL work.   

Dual (College) Credit Courses

MMA also offers several college courses through a dual enrollment agreement with Shenandoah University.

Introduction to Political Science	Introduction to Western Philosophy	Introduction to Composition
Ethics in Society	Introduction to Psychology	Introduction to Literature
