If
your actions inspire others to dream more,
learn more, do more and become more,
you are a leader.
John Quincy Adams
The greatest compliment that Sarasota Military Academy can receive is your interest in our outstanding school. At this moment, the greatest gift we can offer the young adults of today is a quality education at your fingertips. This is a school that strives for academic excellence and encourages today’s youth to become leaders. Leaders are those that represent individuals who see potential and take the risk to see a goal completed.
Sarasota Military Academy encourages students to be aware of people’s well being and attempts to move all students in a positive direction, whether academically, emotionally, or behaviorally. It is the whole student which is recognized. The use of positive reinforcement is an effective tool at SMA for changing behaviors into positive ones; students can engage in leadership positions, extracurricular activities, teacher aides and clubs to ensure the encouragement of personal growth. Sarasota Military Academy recognizes that each student is unique and offers an immeasurable amount of ideas.
Students must recognize that they are future leaders, not only at SMA, but also in the community, learning the skills to elevate people from any environment, condition, or circumstance to another by constantly aspiring for the greater common good. This will become a core value instilled within them. When this occurs, many followers will become empowered to become leaders and share the SMA vision with others. Students learn to communicate a clear educational goal that facilitates accomplishments, which naturally, followers will be attracted to those ideals. Without a doubt, visioning defines leadership; it is the core component to the process of a great school like Sarasota Military Academy!
