Located on the shores of sunny southern California, the Army and Navy Academy occupies 16 acres of beautiful land outside the charming village of Carlsbad.

Boarding Schools.

Army and Navy Academy is a college preparatory boarding school that incorporates leadership training. Our cadets learn about the benefits of structure, motivation and discipline in their lives. 100% of our graduates attend college, with many graduates attending Ivy League, University of California and California State Universities, military academies and other fine private colleges and universities.

Who Attends Army Navy?

One of our key strengths is the academic turn-around. On a regular basis, we see students improve their G.P.A., often within the first semester of attendance. Small class sizes, a highly committed staff and individualized support set students up to succeed and prepare them for college.

Students that may have "fallen through the cracks" at public or private schools would benefit from the Army and Navy experience. Lack of motivation, need for more structure, or not fulfilling academic, social or physical potential are common reasons that parents select the Academy for their son.

Academic Program

Since its inception in 1910, Army and Navy Academy has sought to develop scholarship and honorable character in young men. To achieve these results, the Academy demands high curriculum standards in combination with essential life management, good citizenship and leadership skills.

Army and Navy Academy follows a strictly time-based reference (Carnegie Unit and Student Hour guidelines) used by American universities and colleges for measuring educational attainment in their students. Grading periods run every 5-6 weeks to ensure detailed tracking of student learning and graduation requirements from Army Navy are consistent with UC standards.

The Academic Department provides a variety of academic support services for Cadets including daily Tutorial & Mandatory Tutorial, Study Hall, Evening Office Hours with teachers, Academic Counseling Program and Learning Strategies.

Athletics & Intramural

Motivating young men to realize their full potential is the core mission of the Army and Navy Academy Strict Requirements that each Cadet participates in one of our 11 CIF sports, intramural clubs or physical education program, allows a Cadet-athlete the opportunity to develop his self image and a sense of fair play.

Leadership Opportunities

Leadership Opportunities at the Academy are plentiful. Whether it's participating in one of the Academy's 20+ clubs, or in the JROTC/Leadership and Education Training program, the opportunities are within reach for any Cadet. In such an intimate community, every Cadet at Army Navy can join in virtually any club that peaks their interest. In addition, JROTC stands as a Cadets' underlying foundation preparing high school students for leadership roles, while educating these young men on their Constitutional rights, responsibilities, and privileges as American citizens

Residential Life

Living at an all-boys boarding school allows Cadets to socialize and build long-lasting friendships in an environment free of common external distractions. It allows a Cadet to expose himself in a safe environment where he will not be judged on the clothes he is wearing or the girl he is dating.

Safety and support are important at the Academy. Residential Life Officers oversee 30-50 Cadets in their company and serve as a Cadet's mentor/advisor for all time spent outside of the classroom or athletics.

Weekends are often open for Cadets to leave campus and visit their families; however, Cadets are always encouraged to stay on-campus and take local liberty around town or participate in a weekend activity. Weekend Activities vary in nature and include trips to local movies and malls, laser tag, paintball, museums, professional sporting events and water and theme parks.

Summer Programs

Army and Navy Academy hosts two summer programs. The Academy by the Sea offer academic credit, enrichment and ESL programs while Camp Pacific offers surf/body board recreation and ESL camps. Academic Programs are co-educational and balance academics and recreation for a fulfilling experience.
