Lyman Ward Military Academy
Lyman Ward All-Boys Military Academy Boarding Information:
Our Vision
To be widely recognized as the premier military boarding school for young men in the United States.
The LWMA teaching faculty, military staff, and support personnel are committed to the development of the whole boy. We provide a comprehensive program that fosters intellectual, physical and spiritual growth through the integration of our academic, military, and athletic programs. Character development is fully integrated into all that we do and serves as the foundation of our daily routine.
This whole boy development program provides our cadets the opportunity to go beyond preconceived limitations and reach their full potential. The character and self-confidence gained from their accomplishments are lifelong benefits and prepare our cadets to meet the challenges of their future.
Cadet Life
At Lyman Ward, we strive to develop boys with good character and attitude, while stressing the importance of physical fitness, vigor and coordination. To accomplish these goals, we believe there is no substitute for the military system of structure and discipline.
Discipline
A high standard of discipline is the cornerstone of the entire military structure. It is formed through development of basic traits of honor, duty, courage and pride. It is characterized by attitudes of loyalty, courtesy, high morale and esprit de corps. Since group discipline must begin with self-discipline, it is natural that emphasis is placed on habits of neatness, promptness, orderliness, and military bearing. It is our purpose to maintain the highest standards of discipline at all times. To help us accomplish this purpose, we employ a system based upon the merit/demerit system. A cadet whose conduct is unsatisfactory by reason of violation of regulations or offenses against good order and discipline, will be punished immediately, appropriately and justly. Punishment is in the form of demerits, the loss of privileges, and the performance of extra duties. For repeated and continuous offenses, or for offenses more serious, a cadet will be punished as determined by the Commandant of Cadets. Such punishment may be in the form of restrictions, extra duty, or dismissal from the Academy.
We also believe that cadets should be rewarded for good behavior through the merit system. Merits may be awarded for outstanding performance, assisting teachers and staff, room appearance during inspections or other like duties. Merits earned can be used to receive weekend leaves, day passes, or other activities and events.
