Valley Forge Military Academy and College

Valley Forge Military Academy and College is a leadership institution focused on developing the whole person. The Academy is a college preparatory school for boys, offering middle school and high school. The College is a two-year institution for men and women and has been designated the Military College of Pennsylvania.

Our mission is to develop individuals to be fully prepared for the responsibilities and challenges of being citizen leaders. We produce graduates who are strong in mind, body and soul. Our vision is to be a shining beacon, calling young people from around the world to achieve their full intellectual, physical, moral and leadership potential.

Our philosophy is to develop the whole person within an integrated academic and military environment. Our tightly structured and supervised cadet-led community helps to inculcate a deep, enduring commitment to responsible and informed citizenship in a democratic society. Since our founding in 1928, we have used the Five Cornerstones as an approach to developing the whole person. These cornerstones have stood the test of time and remain central to our institution today.

It is the goal of our faculty to provide cadets the best possible education, equipping them with the critical thinking skills that will enable them to navigate the complexities of life. Many of our students graduate from VFMAC and use their knowledge to enroll in the most competitive universities–the most challenging, yet promising academic environments. Our education philosophy is grounded in developing cadets of the highest moral character, excelling in integrity, honesty and service.

We inspire excellence in our cadets through teamwork, organizational pride, and setting and achieving personal goals. Through physical education and athletic competition, each cadet learns the habits and attitudes necessary for lifelong physical wellness. Cadets learn to become leaders by gaining a sense of individual responsibility and confidence in their own abilities as future citizen leaders.
