Military High Schools in California

Hello! Born and raised Californian here, considering a future in the military service. Can anyone point me towards some reputable military high schools in California? I'm looking to get a feel of military discipline while still in high school. Thanks in advance, y'all!

Sure, there are several reputable military schools in California. Let's consider some of them:

1. California Military Institute: Located in Perris, this public school provides a military-themed education for grades 5-12. With a focus on leadership and character development, it may provide the discipline and structure you're looking for.

2. St. Catherine's Academy: In Anaheim, this all-boys Catholic school with a military tradition serves boys in kindergarten through eighth grade. Even though it's not a high school, it might be an option if you're looking for this type of disciplined environment at an earlier age.

3. Army and Navy Academy: Situated in Carlsbad, this military boarding school serves boys in grades 7-12. It combines rigorous academic coursework with leadership training, and it has a very strong college placement rate.

4. Oakland Military Institute: In Oakland, this charter school offers a college preparatory education for students in grades 6-12. The school follows the military model in its organizational structure and disciplinary environment.

It's also worth noting that JROTC programs are commonly offered at high schools throughout California. These programs give students a taste of military life and help them develop leadership skills. Try to check if your local high school offers this kind of program.

Please remember to consider all your options based on your academic and career goals. While these schools offer military discipline and structure, it's important to ensure that they also meet your academic needs and support your long-term goals.
