Established in 1899, Massanutten Military Academy has a long tradition of providing a structure for success. It offers consistency, discipline, and great STEM-based academics in which military schools excel. It has grown as a co-ed institution with a traditional school culture to include sports, dances, and leisure-time activities. Massanutten instills appropriate social skills, respect for others, and an understanding of the world beyond our campus within our cadets. MMA focuses on character development, leadership, and service to others to help your cadet reach their full potential. As part of the curriculum, all Massanutten cadets are enrolled into the Army JROTC program. We utilize the resources and structure of this program to provide leadership skills that last a lifetime.
