BOLDLY DIFFERENT
Army and Navy Academy offers exceptional teachers, rigorous athletics, and a nationally recognized leadership program. At a time when many boys are struggling in the classroom, the Academy employs evidence-based single-gender education techniques proven to help boys thrive when learning. Graduates of the Academy follow life paths informed by intellectual curiosity, earned confidence, and high standards of character. The Academy isn’t just a school: it’s a transformative step for any young man seeking greatness.
EDUCATING YOUNG MEN
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. We use relational teaching and highly structured classes to educate boys how they learn best.
INSTILLING VIRTUE
We aim to shape our students into ethical, responsible, well-rounded members of society. Virtues-based education helps young men to develop resilience in the face of life’s many challenges. Character development programs are proven to accelerate academic success while laying the foundation for a meaningful, fulfilling life.

OUR FUNDAMENTALS
Welcome to the Army and Navy Academy, where we cultivate virtuous young men. We believe that if virtue is the foundation of all that you do as an institution that you create an environment of dignity and respect and everything else will follow. Our core values of honor, integrity, gratitude, compassion, respect, and responsibility, which guides us all to be, and become, virtuous servant leaders who uplift, serve, and inspire others. We teach our boys to live these values everyday in every interaction.
- We are a certified kindness company, and our programming utilizes the strategies and outcomes of the Anti-Defamation League No Place for Hate program.
- Our commitment to cadet safety extends beyond physical security; it encompasses the emotional and social well-being of every member of our global campus.
- We live and are educated by a governing Honor Code: Cadets respect each other, they do not lie, cheat, steal or tolerate those that do.
Join us in shaping a world where human excellence is defined not only by achievement but by character, where every individual is valued and empowered to contribute to a brighter tomorrow. Welcome to Army and Navy Academy, where greatness begins with virtue.
