Hola, any Miami folks that can suggest some quality military high schools? Need to decide on something soon. Any help or advice would be great, thanks!
Hello! Miami is home to several reputable military-style high schools. While these schools provide a structured environment with military discipline and respect for authority, they don't mandate military service after graduation. Here are some options for military-style education:
1. Miami Coral Park Senior High School: This is a public school offering a Junior Reserve Officer's Training Corps (JROTC) program. This Army JROTC programs focus on leadership skills and character development, along with physical education and academic rigor.
2. Christopher Columbus High School: A private, all-boys Catholic school with an Air Force JROTC program. The program emphasizes leadership, self-discipline, and citizenship.
3. Alonzo and Tracy Mourning Senior High Biscayne Bay Campus: This public school offers a Navy JROTC program, which targets citizenship and leadership development, along with an enriching academic routine.
While choosing, consider the key factors that matter the most to you. Look at their academic record, extracurricular offerings, facilities, class size, student-teacher ratios, and costs (for private schools). Also, if possible, try to visit the schools, meet with the teaching staff and see the facilities to get a first-hand experience. Please do your research to see which school aligns best with your educational goals and values. Hope this helps!
