A MILITARY SCHOOL FOR BOYS

As one of California’s top boarding schools for boys, Army and Navy Academy offers a unique educational and developmental environment built exclusively for the needs of boys. We recognize that boys today are facing unprecedented challenges in life that begin while they are in school. The Academy employs evidence-based single-gender education techniques to help our students reach their maximum personal potential. Becoming an Army and Navy Academy cadet isn’t just stepping into another private school: it’s a transformative step toward lifelong success.

BOY BRAIN SCIENCE

Boys in middle school and high school have educational needs that are not being met in most public and private school settings. The current generation of boys is falling behind in school, resulting in a crisis in higher education and poorer life outcomes for young men. We address the needs of boys through relational teaching and highly structured classes that educate boys how they learn best.

VIRTUE DEVELOPMENT

Graduates of Army and Navy Academy are ethical, responsible, well-rounded members of society. We achieve this through virtue-based education that helps young men to develop resilience in the face of life’s many challenges. Our character development programs are proven to accelerate academic success while laying the foundation for a meaningful, fulfilling life.

OUR FUNDAMENTALS

Army and Navy Academy is a top private school for boys that is centered on a unique and singular mission: to forge virtuous young men for life. We feel that cultivating academic excellence and training exceptional scholar-athletes is the bare minimum of what a military boarding school should do. Our focus on virtue and character development makes us a unique opportunity for any young man looking to thrive in an increasingly challenging world.

Virtue is our priority in all that we do, a fact reflected in the environment of dignity and respect that pervades our beachfront campus. Our core values of Honor, Integrity, Respect, Commitment, Gratitude, and Courage don’t just guide our cadets: they are guidelines that motivate every member of our educational community uplift, serve, and inspire others. We teach our cadets to live these values every day and in every interaction.

We are incredibly proud to celebrate one of our own, Roderick Howe, Army and Navy Academy Class of 2020, now a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy and officially commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant.

As Charlie Company Commander during his time at ANA, Roderick exemplified leadership, resilience, and dedication, traits that paved the way for his journey to the Air Force Academy and beyond.

His success is a powerful reminder of how far our Cadets can go when given structure, support, and the right foundation. We are honored to have been part of Roderick’s path and can’t wait to see what the future holds for him.

And one more congratulations is in order Roderick recently tied the knot! Wishing him and his wife a lifetime of happiness and continued adventure.

Warrior Proud, Warrior Strong.

Before Jacob Meyer stepped onto the campus of Army and Navy Academy, he was like many young men-uncertain, unfocused, and searching for direction. Just a boy who needed structure, accountability, and a reason to strive for more. At ANA, that’s exactly what he found.

Jacob began as a regular cadet, but it didn’t take long before the values we teach; discipline, leadership, and a drive to push beyond the minimum took root. He didn’t just rise through the ranks; he earned every step. From Platoon Sergeant to Training NCO, and ultimately serving as our Battalion S3, the Operations and Training Officer for the entire student body. Jacob embraced every challenge and kept asking, “What’s next?”

That mindset of always striving, always growing is exactly what we instill in our cadets.

Today, we’re proud to say that Jacob has graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, one of the nation’s most demanding and prestigious institutions. His journey from a boy in search of purpose to a man of character and conviction is what ANA is all about. And the Meyer legacy continues as his younger brother, Tate Meyer ’24, served as our Battalion Commander and is currently continuing his academic and leadership journey at Dartmouth College.

Two brothers. Two leaders. One foundation. We must be doing something right.

Jacob, we couldn’t be prouder of you. Your ANA family is behind you, always. Keep leading the way.
