A College-Prep Military Boarding School

Welcome to R-MA Upper School!

At Randolph-Macon Academy's Upper School, we combine the best parts of a college-prep boarding school and a military school. 

What does it mean to be a college-prep military boarding school? It means that 95% of our students go on to four-year colleges or universities. It means that students in grades 9-12 learn self-discipline in a safe, structured environment.  Small classes, personal attention, and the availability of advanced courses ensure that each student is challenged to reach his or her full potential.  The result: our graduating classes average over $5 million in college merit scholarships each year.

Our students find success through empowering programs that build their confidence, such as:

• Air Force Junior ROTC -- Named Distinguished Unit with Merit in 2009 and 2011!
• Flight Training Program
• Marching & Concert Band
• Chorus
• Drama
• Athletics
• High Flight - Service Academy Prep Program

Building strong citizens and leaders is part of the Air Force JROTC program; it is why we choose to be a military boarding school.  We also strive to teach our students positive values through:

• Mentoring programs
• Ecumenical chapel services
• Honor Code
• Residential Life Curriculum

Young men and women are challenged to reach their potential, in the classroom, on the athletic field, and in leadership positions.  To find out more about why R-MA is one of the top military boarding schools in the U.S., please contact or visit us:
