Thank you for your interest in Lyman Ward Military Academy. We are happy that you are considering LWMA for your son and encourage you to visit the campus for a tour of our facilities and to meet our staff. We are dedicated to providing the best education in a structured, traditional military academy environment. The LWMA system is time-tested to develop the qualities of self discipline, teamwork, and respect for authority in our cadets that are needed to compete and thrive in the world that they will face as adults.
The LWMA teaching faculty, military staff, and support personnel are committed to the development of the whole boy. We provide a comprehensive program that fosters intellectual, physical and spiritual growth through the integration of our academic, military, and athletic programs. Character development is fully integrated into all that we do and serves as the foundation of our daily routine.
This whole boy development program provides our cadets the opportunity to go beyond preconceived limitations and reach their full potential. The character and self-confidence gained from their accomplishments are lifelong benefits and prepare our cadets to meet the challenges of their future.
We are confident in our program and the benefits it has to offer. We look forward to working with you as you consider the opportunities afforded by Lyman Ward Military Academy.
