Service Academy Prep
Marion's SAP program is guided by each academy's particular need. The personalization of the curriculum ensures you will be prepared for your rigorous academic, physical fitness, moral-ethical issues, and leadership challenges that await you at the academy.
All cadets enrolled in the SAP program are assigned a core curriculum much like those taught at the academies. In addition, special classes in English, mathematics, vocabulary development, testing orientation, and reading are designed to improve your test scores. An extensive physical conditioning course improves physical aptitude scores. The instructors who are also SAP faculty advisors teach these classes, understand the high standards required by all of the service academies, provide individual and extra instruction in order to ensure academic success. Additionally, representatives from the Service Academies visit candidates offering guidance and insight into academy life.
The effectiveness of MMI's SAP program is evidenced in the number of former cadets at the service academies who graduate and receive their commission and the number of new cadets enrolled at MMI in pursuit of one of the U.S. Academies. Generally between 200 and 225 former MMI cadets will be in attendance at the academies and about 90% will graduate. Seventy-eight MMI scholars received their appointment from the SAP class of 2008-09.
If you are considering one of the U.S. Military Academies and want to prepare at the oldest, most prestigious, and highly honored Service Academy Preparation Program in the world, consider Marion Military Institute.
