Among the Top Military Schools in America
Real Communication • Respect for Authority • Self-Discipline • Achievement

Oak Ridge Military Academy is different from other military schools. We exist to teach some of the most important elements for a successful life. That’s what we mean by “That’s Our Standard”. We expect our Cadets to meet our standards. We believe you want the same thing for your child.

The Ridge is in its 161th year of being a boarding school providing young men and women with a structured, organized, and purposed life. We are a military school where a uniform highlights individual identity. We are a school where self-discipline leads to personal freedom and where peer relationships produce leadership opportunities and experiences.

While we prepare our Cadets for college, we are much more than another independent, college prep school: We see education as addressing the full life of a Cadet. Character development and education are cornerstones of our curriculum. We not only want them smart and intelligent, we want them good and noble. With our Military Structure program as the center piece of our Cadet life and with our unique on-campus boarding opportunities an Oak Ridge Military Academy experience has produced a valuable and meaningful legacy in the life of our graduates.
