Helpful Tips on Preparing to Arrive on Campus for the 24-25 Year

As summer winds down, the countdown for the upcoming MMA school year is on! It's never too early for new and returning cadets to check their packing lists and prepare for the 2024-2025 year. 

All cadets should refer to the Required Items and Unauthorized Items lists for comprehensive details on what to bring to campus. However, we offer some reminders below on essential packing items: 

Uniforms
  • New cadets will be issued uniforms, socks, school backpacks, footlockers, locks, wool blankets, and laundry bags.
  • Returning cadets must bring all uniforms and gear issued in prior school years. 
Dorm Essentials
  • All towels, pillows, bed sheets, and mattress covers must be white with no additional designs. 
  • Cadets are encouraged to bring a clear water bottle. 
  • Cadets are permitted to bring an approved fan for their dorm. 
School Materials
  • Cadets must have an alarm clock (not a cell phone alarm). 
  • Paper, pens, pencils, one three-ring binder, and a Scientific Calculator are required for all students. 
The MMA Quartermaster and Cadet Store sell a limited stock of required items and supplies. However, we urge cadets to acquire all essential items before their move-in.

For questions regarding what to bring to campus, contact our Quartermaster, Karen Fisher, at kfisher@militaryschool.com. We look forward to the return of cadets, faculty, and staff on campus!

We believe students should experience school as it should be, a place where children are educated in an environment that leads them to thrive and encourages their maximum potential.
