CURRICULUM FOR CADETS

The Academy is a nurturing and challenging environment for cadets in grades 6th thru 12th. With a rigorous curriculum the Upper School (9th thru 12th) will promote the development of respectful, thinking, responsible, and ethical young men and women. While the curriculum easily supports preparatory work for university and college, it is more than that as it enables cadets to prepare for whatever the 21st Century will bring. The faculty and the staff are geared to prepare the cadet for whatever he and she may face – not just in a classroom, but in life.

To successfully graduate from The Paul R. Brown Leadership Academy requires the successful completion with a passing grade in all required courses and a GPA of 2.0 or better overall.
