[Counselors] FW: Military School Question

[OSRHEStudent Prep PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

Check out Thunderbird Youth Academy.  I don't know that it is exactly what you are looking for, but it has military ties and he can earn credits while there.  Hope this helps!  http://thunderbird.org/about-us/


I checked with our JROTC Colonel and he said didn’t know of any public ones, but plenty of private ones and those for juvenile delinquency.


A few high schools in Oklahoma have an ROTC program.  He would have to move or transfer.  We had a student get a full ride to OU a few years ago when we had a ROTC program.

Subject: [Counselors] Military School Question

I know this is an unusual question.  I have a 9th grader who plans to make a career in the Army (he's got the next 20 years of his life planned out which is quite refreshing!).  He asked recently if I knew  of a student exchange program where he could spend a semester in a "public military school" somewhere in the United States.  He has checked out private military schools but they are expensive.  That's when he figured out there are a few public military schools throughout the United States.  I asked one of our teachers who is part of a foreign exchange student organization but she didn't know if there were such a thing.  Do you have any ideas/suggestions... which I can pass on to this young man?  His plan is to attend college and go thru an ROTC program so he will enter the military as an officer.

Thank you
