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.
