Nestled in the rolling foothills of North Carolina’s Piedmont region, Oak Ridge Military Academy sits on a historic 100-acre campus where tradition meets innovation. Since 1852, these grounds have shaped generations of students through structure, purpose, and community.

 

Our campus blends historic charm and modern learning, with classrooms, athletic facilities, and living spaces designed to inspire focus, discipline, and growth. Every building tells a story — from the century-old Alumni Hall to state-of-the-art academic spaces that prepare cadets for college and life beyond.

 

At ORMA, academics are the foundation of leadership. Small class sizes and a dedicated faculty ensure each cadet receives the personal attention and mentorship they need to excel. Our college-preparatory curriculum emphasizes critical thinking, communication, and character — skills that set our graduates apart in higher education and in life.

 

Learning extends far beyond the classroom. Whether through athletics, the arts, aviation, or leadership training, cadets practice teamwork, responsibility, and service every day. The result is more than an education — it’s a transformation.
