Located in Chatham, Pittsylvania County, southern Virginia, Hargrave Military Academy is a college preparatory secondary boy’s military boarding school for grades 7-12 and one post graduate year with college prep SAT, ACT and AP courses. Established in 1909, Hargrave has a long history of providing quality education to our students, not only in the classroom, but in the areas of character development, leadership, socially, spiritually and athletically. Hargrave’s program not only equips students to excel in the classroom, but positions for college acceptance, and further success in their higher education endeavors. We have had a 99% college acceptance rate over the last eight years and recent studies show an 83% college retention rate.

Hargrave maintains no military affiliation with the U.S. Military, U.S. Reserve Officer Training Programs (ROTC), or other military organizations. Hargrave maintains its own independent military program, which permits the Academy to provide leadership training geared toward individual development and academic success. Hargrave Military Academy is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and the Virginia Association of Independent Schools (VAIS).

Mens Sana In Corpore Sano” is Hargrave’s motto. It means “Strong in Mind” and “Strong in Body.” This is the basic tenet of the development of the whole person. Here at Hargrave we help a cadet grow, academically, athletically, and spiritually – mind, body, and soul.

For 100 years, Hargrave has been at the forefront in the development of young men into principled leaders proud to be the best they possibly could be. While our campus has grown and the classroom evolved, the caring and firm desire to see young men become better than they ever imagined remains our focal point.
