Eligibility Requirements
When evaluating a student's application for admission, we consider some of the
following factors:
-
Motivation to attend the Academy.
-
Prior academic work, school transcript, and school officials' comments and
recommendations.
-
Results of the cadet entrance examination administered by Enrollment Services.
In lieu of this, students may choose to take the SSAT - Secondary School
Admission Test. For more information, please visit
www.ssat.org, or call 1-800-442-SSAT.
-
Prior citizenship and conduct.
-
Ability to successfully complete a college-preparatory curriculum.
-
Medical fitness to participate in our academic, athletic and leadership
development programs.
Representatives from Enrollment Services, the Dean's Office, and
the Resident Life Office each interview the student and evaluate his
application and all related materials. The Enrollment Committee, comprised of
the three offices, makes its enrollment decision under the guidance of the
Academy President.
Family Responsibility
We want to help each young man develop into a successful leader. It is important
for us to be aware of the history of each cadet. This helps us determine
whether the SJNMA environment will be a good match. To this end, we expect each
family to provide the potential cadet's successes and failures, past behavior,
health, and academic information as requested within the application and during
interviews. Failure to do so may result in an inadequate assessment of the
student's ability to succeed at the Academy.
