Oak Ridge Military Academy is a co-ed, college-preparatory boarding school set on a historic 100-acre campus in the foothills of North Carolina’s Piedmont region.

 

Since 1852, Oak Ridge has shaped thousands of young men and women into confident, capable leaders. Lifelong friendships and character are forged here through shared experience, discipline, and mentorship.

 

At ORMA, Character, Knowledge, and Influence form the foundation of leadership. Our dedicated educators and mentors work side-by-side with cadets, fostering academic excellence, personal growth, and values that endure.

Small classes and attentive faculty encourage cadets to think critically, communicate clearly, and lead with both heart and integrity. Through the academy’s structured environment, students gain hands-on leadership experience that prepares them for college and beyond.

 

Our diverse Corps of Cadets represents communities across the United States and around the world. This rich blend of cultures broadens perspectives and builds friendships that last a lifetime.

 

For nearly 170 years, Oak Ridge Military Academy has upheld timeless values while evolving to meet the needs of today’s students — continuing its legacy of building smart leaders for tomorrow’s world.
