Students from around the world attend
Missouri Military Academy
Since 1889, thousands of parents
have looked to Missouri
Military Academy (MMA) to
give their boys the structure, responsibility
and love they need
to grow, compete and thrive —
and ultimately become young
men who are in full command of
their lives.
Students come from across
the United States and around
the world to attend MMA. Focused
on the education of boys
in grades 7 through 12 and
post-grad year, the Academy is
a college-preparatory boarding
school with a military tradition.
MMA’s comprehensive 360°
Education empowers boys and
young men to unlock their full
potential. Through MMA, families
give their boys gifts of courage,
strength, heart and pride —
an edge to triumph in college and
in life.
“We have known what potential
he has and he is now seeing
for himself,” MMA parents Bob
and Jennifer Wever said. “MMA
has been the best decision we
have ever made for our son.”
MMA understands and embraces
how boys learn and what
inspires and challenges them.
Through MMA’s tight-knit environment,
supported by peers,
teachers, and mentors, boys learn
personal accountability, perseverance,
and self-discipline.
“MMA has given my son the
ability to think about his choices
and to take responsibility for
them. He has learned that he is
in charge of his freedom, privileges,
and future,” MMA mom
Dr. Victoria Thompson said.
“He said to me, ‘I know I don’t
tell you enough, but I am very
grateful for the opportunity you
have given me to be able to go
to MMA.’”
Known for their sense of character
and strong leadership traits,
MMA graduates consistently
achieve 100 percent college acceptance
and earn an impressive
number of scholarships. The
Class of 2018 earned more than
$6.5 million in college scholarships,
and recent graduates have
been accepted to Loyola Marymount
University, Case Western
Reserve, Savannah College of
Art and Design, the Citadel, the
U.S. Merchant Marine Academy,
University of Washington, and
more.
MMA’s unique Triumph Program
gives students an early
start on college. Qualifying students
can finish high school with
one year of college -- or even
earn their associate degree. Supported
by MMA’s structured environment,
students take classes
with William Woods University
faculty on MMA’s campus. Parents
and students benefit from a
map to college graduation, starting
as early as middle school, to
help understand their college investment
and academic plan.
Located in central Missouri,
approximately six hours from
Chicago, Missouri Military
Academy’s 248-acre campus
provides a safe, supportive, and
scenic setting for learning and
growth. Visit missourimilitaryacademy.org
