Corps of Cadets become an extension of a cadet’s family and creates opportunities for friendships that last a lifetime.
Cadets share
common goals and are encouraged to
assist one another in their efforts to succeed. Living in the barracks gives them 24-hour
access to a
peer support group and
cadet mentors. With time, cadets
create a brotherhood that will last a lifetime and bridge the gap of geography long after they have graduated from MMA.
One of the Corp's strengths is in its
diversity. At the Academy, cadets will be introduced to a broad spectrum of
cultural experiences, and encouraged to appreciate what each student brings to the school.
MMA prides itself on creating a truly
multicultural learning environment in which young men of different nationalities can come to appreciate their differences and similarities. Members of the Corps of Cadets come from across the United States and around the world. Over the long life of MMA, cadets have attended from
all 50 states and from
30 foreign countries. Cadets' preparation for college and beyond will be well-served as they learn to overcome fears of difference and
celebrate the gifts of diversity.
International students who are new to the English language will benefit from our
ESL (English as a Second Language) program. These classes help students to develop language comprehension skills and adapt quickly to their cultural surroundings. At MMA, international cadets are housed with US students to
accelerate language learning and promote
cultural interactions between different groups.
