In my first year at Southern Preparatory Academy, I have had an excellent experience here. I initially came here to help discipline me for my next stage of life: college. This school is helping me get there and providing me all the resources for my own personal success.

Southern Prep provided the extra support I needed that my large public school didn't. Southern Prep spend time with me to bring my math scores up so that I was able to get into it good college and felt confident about myself. I blew the ACT out of the park. Graduated as salutatorian. Sword Drill was a wonderful experience that I will always cherish.

Lyman Ward Military Academy changed my life! I was a subpar student with little motivation to succeed. Lyman Ward changed all of that and helped turn me from a boy into a man.
