Not all teens will flourish in military schools. Some simply aren't a good fit. Teens who are struggling in mainstream schools would probably be better off in a program where extensive therapy is part of the school's program. Therapeutic boarding schools can help certain types of teens in the same way that military schools cater to teens who look for something specific. Military schools provide a very well-structured and organized lifestyle where a drive for excellence, honor, and self-discipline are highly valued. They also usually have a very strong junior cadet training program to expose young people to military exercises and traditions. Here are a few examples of military schools in California: 1. St. Catherine's Military Academy (Anaheim, CA) - This military school in California is one of the few boarding schools in the US which accepts students as young as from the 4th grade. Most of the time, boarding schools start accepting students from the 9th grade. St. Catherine's can even accept a boy who has not yet reached 4th grade but shows exceptional potential. It's not very common to have elementary students in military schools, or even in traditional boarding schools for that matter. However, St. Catherine's has a very good reputation for helping guide younger students and giving them a good foundation for their higher academic years. The school is also well known for its music program. As a matter of fact, more than half the student population of the school is granted instrumental tuition. The school's famous marching band is also often featured in many of southern California's social events. The school also has exemplary sporting facilities. Its athletic program is very good, something characteristic of most good military boarding schools. Its varsity teams compete in state wide competitions and have already won several championships in different sports like basketball, football and volleyball. The school also accepts day students from Kindergarten. The school aims to instill discipline in all the young cadets. It's one of the reasons why many of its students turn out to be successful not just in their studies but also in different fields. 2. Army and Navy Military Academy - This school also has a very good reputation about developing young leaders who excel in academics, athletics, and leadership. It boasts of keeping a low student to teacher ratio of 15:1. The school also has a Leadership Education Training program which focuses on giving children opportunities to develop their leadership potential both inside and outside of the classroom. The school also provides tutorial services to supplement an already efficient individualized attention given to students. The school provides a warm and homey environment that makes it easy for students to cultivate deep and lasting friendships. The school balances excellent academic programs with outdoor activities and strong athletics programs. 3. Vista High School - This is one of the schools in California which is considered to be among the strong providers of Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC). The JROTC is an Air Force supported program where students learn about military practices, aerospace science, leadership, and more.
