This school puts you through many hardships to make you become a better person. This school is more of a student based school. The students gets to make most decisions with little help from faculty. Parents are not really involved because at the school you are taught to be a leader and control the space. Many may have different opinions their first year but through out my 4 years I have came to the realization everything that I may have not liked improved me to become a better man.

While their academic program is lacking in terms of technology, they more than make up for that in teaching young men to think for themselves. They take these boys from boyhood to manhood and teach them not...
