Child Education: Military Academies For Boys
admin
Some of the most affluent and well-to-do students in the United States attend all-boys military academies. Many of these schools have 100 or more years of history behind them and have been producing the cream of the crop for many years. The average SAT score of students attending military academies is over 1100; your typical everyday student does not attend these schools.
Preparing the Leaders of Tomorrow
The focus of an all-boys military academy is college preparatory studies. These schools are designed to train the next generation of leaders for the U.S. They are quite different than public schools for many reasons, but one notable reason is the cost to attend. Public education does not have a fee outside of taxes, but military academies average over $30,000 per student.
Another interesting fact about military academies for boys is the student to teacher ratio. On a national average, it is one teacher for every six students. This number is very good compared to many large public school systems where the average can be one teacher for every 10, 20, or even 30 students.
Many of these schools give parents an option to have their teens live at the school while they are attending, much like college. Even though nearly all of the schools offer boarding for their students, it is not necessary at all of the schools. Many of the schools are beginning to offer day classes just like regular public schools.
