Missouri Military Academy

They learn how to lead a goal-oriented and balanced lifestyle, incorporating academics, leadership training, sports, character development, weekend trips, and activities.

Application Process

The journey is different for every family. Most families hear about MMA from friends, alumni, current cadets,parents and families, but others search online, find us through a school website or another source. However you found us, let’s connect early in the process by phone. The call allows us to get to know more about your family and why you are considering an educational change for your boy.

Upon receipt of your inquiry or application, a member of the Admissions team will be in contact the same day or immediately following the weekend. If you prefer to schedule a phone appointment, feel free to send us an email with the best day and time to reach you.

We look forward to sharing more information about MMA's boarding and day school options for boys, grades 7-12. Our team can also discuss our summer camp options with you.
