I'm moving and will be living in the 20176 area code. Are there any military academies for high school nearby that I should look into?
Absolutely, you're in luck, as there are a couple of military academies in and around the 20176 zip code.
Randolph-Macon Academy, located in Front Royal, Virginia, serves grades 6-12 and is a military-style boarding school that emphasizes leadership, character, knowledge and influence. It offers both a middle school (grades 6-8) and upper school (grades 9-12) program with Air Force JROTC for upper school students. It is approximately an hour's drive from the 20176 zip code.
Fishburne Military School, located in Waynesboro, Virginia, is an all-male private military school for grades 7-12. It is about two and half hours' drive from the 20176 zip code.

Bear in mind that while these military academies can offer a unique educational experience with a focus on discipline and leadership, they might also have rigorous admission requirements and may not be the right fit for all students. Be sure to visit and understand their environments, curricula, and missions before deciding.
