Why VFMA

V

alley Forge Military Academy is about growth – a growth than cannot be measured in inches, but in character. 

While a small percentage of VFMA students go on to officer training, preparing young men for the military is not our goal. Rather, we believe that by following the time-tested principles of military educational model – by emphasizing personal honor and discipline, by setting and focusing on goals, and in learning to become a good follower and then a good leader, we develop more than just academic potential. We develop a sense of personal integrity. We develop men.
