One Step ahead
Since 1889
Founded in 1889, the New York Military Academy provides both discipline and a solid education putting it “One Step Ahead.” A NYMA education develops a cadet’s mind, body and character building the foundation for continued education and leadership. Patriotism, determination, and pride are all parts of a cadet’s daily life. The Academy, the center of learning, with its etymology dating back to Ancient Greece, instills a solid education. The curriculum individually laid out for each cadet, charts the course of instruction. This education is interlocked with military discipline, which provides the Cadets of the Corps beneficial training for life beyond the Academy’s walls. Cadets leave the Academy orderly, prompt, courteous, and self-confident. Our Military Academy puts cadets — “One Step Ahead.”
