While there aren't specific military high schools in Queens, there are several renowned military schools in nearby areas that you might consider attending. They provide a regimented environment with a focus on academic excellence, leadership, character development, and physical fitness—essential elements of military life.

1. New York Military Academy – Located in Cornwall-On-Hudson, about 60 miles north of Queens, this school has been in operation since 1889. It offers grades 6 through 12 and focuses on character development, leadership, and a rigorous academic program.

2. Christian Brothers' Academy – A bit further away in Albany, NY, this military school offers grades 6 through 12. Christian Brothers' Academy combines traditional military training with the Lasallian educational philosophy.

3. Valley Forge Military Academy – Located in Wayne, Pennsylvania, this military school offers grades 7 through 12 as well as a post-graduate year. It's about a two-hour drive from Queens, but boarding is available.

It's essential to note that each military school has its own unique environment, culture, and set of requirements. Take the time to research each one, visit if possible, and speak to current students and recent graduates to get a feel for the school's program. This process can help you decide if a military school aligns with your career goals and personal development priorities. Don't forget to consider academic offerings, extracurricular opportunities, and cultural fit alongside the military aspects of the schools. Good luck with your decision!
