Looking for Military Schools in Utah

Utah resident here aiming to join a military high school. Anyone can weigh in on military high schools in my home state? Cheers!

Hello! Utah has a range of options for secondary students interested in a military-focused education. One of the most renowned military institutions in the state is the Utah Military Academy.

1. Utah Military Academy (UMA): UMA has campuses in Riverdale and Lehi. It's a public charter school that implements military structure and science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education. It starts from 7th grade and goes up to 12th grade. Being a public charter school, tuition is free, but there might be some fees for uniforms and school-affiliated programs. The academy prepares its cadets for post-secondary education, vocational careers, or military service.

Additionally, if you're interested in JROTC programs, many traditional high schools offer them:

2. Air Force JROTC: A few schools in Utah offer Air Force JROTC programs, including Clearfield High School in Clearfield and Northridge High School in Layton.

3. Army JROTC: Schools like Provo High School in Provo and West High School in Salt Lake City offer Army JROTC.

These JROTC programs are usually embedded within traditional high schools and provide military-focused leadership education and training. They can be a good fit if you're looking at a military career but also want the more traditional high school experience.

Remember, whichever school or program you choose, the key is to fully engage, take on leadership roles, challenge yourself acadically, and commit to physical fitness—factors that combine to create a successful military education. Good luck with your search!
