The Power of Community 

In 1889, the community of Mexico, Missouri, had a vision.

They wanted a local academy to offer classical education for boys, set a standard of academic excellence, and provide learning with emphasis on discipline. 

Through their combined efforts and vision for the Academy's potential, Missouri Military Academy came to be — founded on November 22, 1889. Read full history below. 

The Need for Continued Support 

MMA continues to thrive today through the support of donors.

The MMA Strategic Plan is the intentional, driving force behind charting MMA’s future. It builds upon the Academy’s strengths, focuses on its mission and responds to opportunities for growth and enhancement. 

The plan's success depends on strong enrollment and the unwavering financial commitment from alumni, patrons and friends.
