Colorado Military Academy

Colorado Military Academy is a tuition free public charter school for K-12 conveniently located next to Peterson SFB.  Pre-K is available as a tuition-based program.

CMA offers a structured learning environment inspiring academic excellence, self-discipline, responsibility, and community involvement with the support of peers, instructors, and mentors.  CMA is invested in developing leadership skills in all of our Cadets.  Our young leaders are inspired on a daily basis through student-led mentorship programs and integrated leadership opportunities.  Continued leadership growth and our strong academic program provides a pathway for college-bound students while the Civil Air Patrol program provides experience, character development, and bonds that will last a lifetime. The practical leadership experience earned at CMA will be beneficial regardless of the path they choose in life.

As a member of the Association of Military Colleges & Schools of the United States (AMCSUS), Colorado Military Academy is proud to be a one of 33 military schools dedicated to developing character driven leaders who will lead us to a brighter tomorrow.  CMA students benefit from our membership through increased opportunities for acceptance into higher educational institutions to include but not limited to Virginia Military Institute, New Mexico Military Institute, Virginia Tech, Texas A&M, and Georgia Military College, The Citadel and University of North Georgia as well as guaranteed acceptance at Norwich University and The Citadel if they so choose.  The pathways that AMCSUS has created for our students are invaluable to their success regardless of the path they choose after graduation.

We are not a reform school nor boarding school specializing in children requiring behavior intervention.  We expect appropriate behaviors and demeanor of our cadets when they begin school.  Our school inspires leadership, responsibility, discipline, and community involvement to all cadets that enroll at CMA.
