Hey everyone, I'm from Wisconsin and I was wondering about military schools around here. Specifically, I'm interested to find out if there are any military high schools in Milwaukee. I thought I'd try a new route in terms of education and discipline. Thanks!
Certainly! While Milwaukee specifically does not host a traditional military high school, there are options in Wisconsin that deliver military-style education.
St. John's Northwestern Military Academy (SJNMA), located in Delafield, Wisconsin, is one such option. This private, coed, college preparatory and leadership development school offers an environment that emphasizes structure and discipline. While it’s not directly in Milwaukee, it's quite close, being around 30 miles west of the city.
If you're open to non-traditional options, consider JROTC (Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps) programs. Many public and private high schools in Milwaukee offer JROTC programs, where students while receiving a traditional education, can also build additional skills and experiences around leadership, character-building, and military science. These programs often provide students with the experience of a military environment without fully committing to a traditional military school education.
Remember, these schools or programs are not direct paths to military service, but they can provide valuable experiences and discipline that can help in future endeavors, whether they are military-related or not.
