<p>Not every prep school is a college - some are a one year “post-grad” program. This is used mostly for athletes who continue to play their sport without losing NCAA eilgibility.</p>
<p>Marion Military Institute is a Military Junior college in Alabama. It is now a public college and offers Associate degrees. This year MMI had about 100 cadets in the Service Academy Prep program. The entire corps is about 400 cadets.<br>
SAP cadets there take a specially tailored program to prepare them for their academy. The academic programs are developed in cooperation with the academies and as a Navy SAP cadet you will take 2 semesters of English incl composition, 2 sems of chemistry, 2 sems of Math and 2 sems of History.
you will either take pre-calc or calculus depending upon your placement test.</p>
<p>You will be a member of the Corps of Cadets in a military school - this is very good prep for a service academy. You will take ROTC and do PT.
You will be given 4 hours of homework and 2 hours in which to complete it.
MMI has been at this for a long time they pretty much have this down to a science. There is a director for the entire program and each academy has it’s own advisor. The USNA advisor is the chemistry teacher and a former Navy Officer.</p>
<p>My advice is to start looking at the school’s websites - call the individual schools and speak to their program director - keeping in mind that they already want you!
If possible visit the schools, weigh the pros and cons of each program. Congratulations and good luck!</p>
