Although the military aspect may be tiring, in the long run it does benefit the student with aspects such as discipline within an educational system and the ability to apply that to almost anything.

I've only been at OMI for a couple of months but I can see the positive effect this school has on the children. This school is designed for students to learn and develop the skills that will take them to the next level in their education. The civilian faculty and the military staff are a perfect combination to bring out the best in these students. Besides a great education they will be getting life skills as well such as leadership, structure, and accountability.

This is my second year and what I have learned from our first year is that there are...

No wonder the retention of teachers and school administrations seems to become worse by the week. I tried working with my son's teacher and eve...
