State: Kansas Military Schools

Most Americans may not think of Kansas as a state that has played a significant role in America’s military history, however, while Kansas is seemingly safely land-locked in the center of the country, it has its own influential place in our military past.

Over the last century and a half, Americans have fought for Kansas’ land, and when the Kansas'”Nebraska Act of 1854 opened the area to settlement, Kansas became a political battlefield that fueled the onset of the Civil War. Today, Kansas’ “free-stater” culture has birthed one of the nation’s most applauded college preparatory military academies.

Residents of Kansas who share their ancestors’ disciplined and determined spirit and want a military-centric education may also want to consider nearby schools located in neighboring Lexington, Missouri or Colorado Springs, Colorado.
