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
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 Academic Office and the Resident Life Office 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 St. John's Northwestern 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.
Notice of Nondiscriminatory Policy as to Students
St. John's Northwestern Military Academy admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, and color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic or other school-administered programs.
