A Day in the Life of a MMA Cadet
Our structured daily schedule at Massanutten Academy ensures cadets develop discipline, responsibility and leadership. Each day at our military boarding school is carefully designed to promote focus, teamwork and perseverance. We also operate on a unique block schedule with class periods only offered on specific days of the week. This gives our cadets more face-to-face time with their teachers, time to remain more focused on subjects and opportunities for more creativity within lessons and schedules.
Day students arrive on campus no later than 0730 to join the Corps for breakfast. They are released after sports.

Weekend Schedule
While weekdays for Massanutten cadets include a disciplined academic routine, weekends offer more flexibility while still following military structure. Cadets wake up at 0900, clean their barracks and eat Brunch as a Corps. Then their days open up with opportunities for recreational activities, community service or special events, depending on the school's calendar. We regroup for Mess II at 1650, after which cadets enjoy more free time before preparing for the next day starting at 2130.
Every Student Deserves to be Known
At Massanutten Academy, every student matters. We develop honorable young people of character through an intentionally personal educational experience in which students are known, challenged, encouraged, and supported.
Here, education is purposeful. Through academics, athletics, leadership opportunities, mentorship, service, and community, students discover their strengths, develop confidence, and learn to accomplish hard things.
We develop young people of character and competence prepared for college, leadership, and life. Honor in Character. Excellence in Purpose. Leadership in Service.
This is The Massanutten Way.
