We look at the student’s commitment to attend as our key priority and then look at the whole picture based on transcripts, disciplinary record, standardized test scores, a writing sample, and a student interview.

Our admission counselors will ask questions to get to know each applicant personally. This happens on tour, through our questionnaire, and during the interview process.

Many of our cadets are drawn to Army and Navy Academy because they know they need more structure, self-discipline and motivation. As boys move toward adulthood, they benefit from an umbrella of male support and mentorship. By focusing on research-based practices informing how boys learn best, we deliver a top-notch college preparatory experience.

Our structured days, supportive academic program, and leadership curriculum fuel the drive to improve grades, manage time effectively, become more engaged in learning, gain confidence and resilience, and develop the independence necessary to succeed in college.

Army and Navy Academy is a college preparatory private day and boarding school and does not push graduates toward military service.

The vast majority of students choose to attend traditional public and private universities after graduation, including: Stanford, Cornell, Columbia, Georgetown, Rutgers, NYU, USC, UCLA, UCSB, UCSD, UCI, UC Davis, UC Berkeley and many other top universities. 

A small percentage of the Corps of Cadets choose to enlist in the military and some elect to opt into ROTC programs at universities or attend the top military service academies (USNA, USMA, USCGA, USAFA, USMMA). 

Our college counseling staff supports and provides extensive workshops, lessons, and individualized counseling sessions to help students navigate college decisions and the application process. 

Our average class size is less than 15 students. Depending on the subject, classes typically range from 5 students to as many as 18. This allows our faculty to provide a caring, nurturing, and supportive environment. To provide additional academic support, tutorials and faculty office hours are offered. 

Army and Navy Academy has made a conscious effort to foster a small campus community for middle school and high school. This allows cadets the opportunity to receive the support and individual recognition to grow mentally, physically, and socially. 

The majority of students are in grades 9-12, with a small middle school for grades 7-8. We also offer summer leadership camps and this is a great way to transition to the full academic year program. 

Approximately 90% of our cadets board and 10% are day cadets.

Most day cadets live within close proximity to the campus or they are dropped off and picked up by parents commuting to work.

Boarding school students live in dorms (aka barracks) and go home on weekends or stay on campus. 

Army and Navy Academy fully recognizes the importance of a diverse student body. Our Corps of Cadets has students from across the United States and countries from around the world.

U.S. students hail from CA, AZ, NV, CO, WA, OR, MT, UT, WY, NJ, NY, IL and other states. On the international front, students come from Mexico, Canada, Taiwan, Vietnam, China, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Russia, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Rwanda, Dominican Republic, and more.

We believe that diversity is essential to cultivating respect for differences and encourages cadets to expand their horizons. Additionally, we have a strong focus on multicultural activities, trips abroad, world cuisine, and cultural events to help educate cadets about an increasingly global society. The Academy is one of very few boarding schools offering a robust ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) program.
