Who Goes To A Military School? Exploring the Diversity of a Military-Inspired School
Military-inspired schools attract a diverse array of students, each with their own unique motivations and aspirations. While some may associate these institutions solely with troubled youth or those seeking a career in the armed forces, the reality is far more nuanced. Students choose military-inspired schools for many reasons, reflecting the rich tapestry of backgrounds and goals within their ranks. In this blog, we’ll explore the myriad of factors that influence a student’s decision to enroll in such a school, shedding light on the breadth and depth of this educational choice.
The Benefits of a Values-Based Education
In the fast-paced and ever-changing landscape of education, the focus has shifted beyond the mere acquisition of knowledge. A values-based education stands out as a beacon, emphasizing the development of character, social relationships, service to others, integrity, and accountability. This holistic approach shapes well-rounded individuals and equips individuals with the tools and principles essential for academic success and leading meaningful, ethical, and fulfilling lives.
Education Paths: Military School vs. Public School
Picking the best academic road for your son is one of a parent’s most important choices. The majority of parents choose the public system. While this is certainly a viable option, it is worthwhile to consider a unique alternative – military school.

What is a highly structured program?
Since 1978, Robert Land Academy has offered extensive academic remediation, small class sizes, monitored study halls, tutorials, and an active athletic program for boys. Utilizing the military school model provides the foundation of a structured and disciplined learning and living community with a focus on emotional, intellectual and social well-being.
How does the Academy avoid distractions?
Having a boys-only boarding school allows us to focus on their specific developmental needs and unique ways of learning. The military-inspired boarding school environment also allows for the elimination of the many distractions which are forever present in the home or traditional day school settings, including video games and personal electronic devices.
What is the Academy’s postsecondary enrolment?
The structured program at our school prepares boys for their future and helps them to achieve success by focusing on their strengths as they develop self-discipline. Students are challenged to achieve true potential, with 100% of our graduates over the past decade being placed in university or college programs.
