Dear Sarasota County Parents,
Welcome to A Major Opportunity At The Sarasota Military Academy
The Sarasota Military Academy (SMA) offers a vast array of exciting,
high interest, and in-depth course offerings (majors). All courses are
designed to meet and exceed District and Sunshine State Standards and
to launch students on a path to future success. Our graduates are well
prepared for college, military service, or their chosen career field.
We are proud to outline the "Major Opportunities" offered to SMA
cadets.
Small class sizes, individualized instruction, structure, discipline,
stringently enforced dress codes, and respect in the classroom help to
ensure a unique, high quality instructional program. We have no
entrance requirements, but we do have high expectations for our cadets
both academically and behaviorally. Additional information may be found
on our website at: sarasotamilitaryacademy.com.
Please contact the Academy at 926-1700 to secure information about our
next tour of the campus and orientation (held most Tuesday mornings
from 7:00-9:00 am). Registration materials may be secured at that time.
Thank you for your interest in The Sarasota Military Academy. Join us
in making history as we add to SMA's growing list of educational
achievements.

JROTC Advanced Skills Development and Leadership – For students who are serious about joining the military and/or going to one of the service academies, staff training is available.
Note: Since SMA is a college prep school, most of our students (90%) go on to college rather than the military. Please be aware that although we are a military academy, and everyone takes JROTC, the focus in the program is on developing leadership qualities via the JROTC program with the end goal being to help our students become better citizens, leaders, and team players in their chosen path in life.
