How Military Schools Help Teens Find Success

A high school education lays the groundwork for a student’s future academic and personal success. Massanutten Military Academy combines academic rigor and structure with a love for learning, self-discipline and nurturing leadership opportunities to help your teen build confidence and ambition. From daily dedicated athletic time to an emphasis on character development, here is how Massanutten will help your child stand out from the crowd:
  • Academic Rigor With nearly 20 advanced course options, your cadet can start earning college credit while in high school. Students can enroll in Honors classes as freshman, then expand into Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment as upperclassmen. We also provide a unique variety of STEM paths, including BioMedical Science, Drone Operations and CyberSecurity.
  • Military Structure and Discipline - A disciplined routine is a cornerstone of a military education, fostering a strong sense of responsibility, time management, and respect for authority. Our Corps of Cadets starts their school days together with wake up and breakfast, before following a block class schedule. Days ends with sports and dinner before Academic Coaching. Our faculty, staff and cadet leaders also help correct and guide your teen with their personal appearance and actions. 
  • Thriving Student Life - With small class sizes and student leadership, we foster a positive and inclusive campus culture that promotes a sense of belonging and camaraderie. From celebrating their successes on the sports field to hanging out around a bonfire, our cadets build bonds that cross time zones, oceans and 126 years of history
Massanutten's campus is also designed with our students in mind. From their dorm spaces to advanced classrooms, every element is meant to provide your child the opportunities and structure to find success. Schedule your personalized tour with our Admissions Team today to see your teen in the spaces where they will live, learn and grow.
