Missouri Military Academy

missouri military academy is a college preparatory boarding school that has readied young men for college and life since 1889. as the only military boarding school in missouri and one of few in the united states, we provide a unique program that inspires boys to reach their potential. our all-boy program is designed around the needs of boys during their formative years, tapping into what motivates them - positive reinforcement, structure, consistent physical and mental challenge, loyalty, and a team mentality. we remove the distractions that slow a student's academic progress and fill that space with our 360˚ education. our well-rounded "360"​ approach molds boys into college-ready young men by focusing on five essential elements: academic excellence, character development, personal motivation, physical development and leadership training. our mission is to empower young men to unlock their potential through a structured program of academic excellence, character, social development and leadership training. we offer boarding and day programs for boys in grades 7-12, with an additional postgraduate gap year program that allows students to earn college credit.
