State: Connecticut Military Schools

During its early days the state of Connecticut earned the nickname “The Land of Steady Habits” because of the strict morals of its founders. Centuries later, this state of resolute citizens is the home of the United States Coat Guard Academy, the oldest life-saving service in the world. Individuals interested in pursuing a future of service protecting America’s sea borders and its citizens will find the Coast Guard Academy provides a uniquely individualized academic experience.

Prospective cadets may also want to consider the State University of New York Maritime College, while younger students looking for a college preparatory experience may want to consider the New York Military Academy, both of which are located near the Connecticut border in downstate, New York. All three institutions encourage a disciplined academic experience with a focus on developing future leaders for military service.
