In 1949, through Jonas Žemaitis, a graduate of the Military School, the Lithuanian Partisan Movement was finally united. In February, he was elected the Chairman of the Presidium of the Council of the Movement of the Struggle for Freedom of Lithuania (according to the Declaration of the Council of the Movement of the Struggle for Freedom of Lithuania of February 16, 1949, after the Restoration of Independence of Lithuania, the Chairman of the Presidium held the position of the President of the Republic of Lithuania). That year Jonas Žemaitis was commissioned as the Partisan General and led the movement until his betrayal on May 30, 1953, when his bunker was discovered. He was concussed by a grenade and arrested. In June 1954, Jonas Žemaitis was sentenced to death in a closed session and executed on November 26 in Butyrka prison in Moscow. His words, spoken after the sentence was pronounced, have come true. “Just like the followers of mine, I think that the Soviet Union invaded our country with its armed forces… I consider this step of the Soviet government illegal. All the underground anti-Soviet activities, a participant of which I am, I consider righteous and non-criminal. I want to emphasize that as long as I have been leading the Lithuanian struggle for freedom, I have been making every effort to stick to the principles of humanity… No strenuous activities have been allowed... I am aware of the sentence to be pronounced. Still, I believe that the fight I have been leading for nine years will achieve the desired outcomes”. On September 15, 2014, the Centre for Quality Assessment in Higher Education accredited The General Jonas Žemaitis Military Academy of Lithuania for the most extended term possible, i.e., six years. Prepared by the review team, the Institutional Review Report identified strengths, good practice, and recommendations for improvement. According to Article 40 Paragraph 2 of the Law on Higher Education and Research of the Republic of Lithuania, the quality of research (artistic) activities and studies is ensured through the internal systems of quality assurance of higher education and research institutions, external assessment, and accreditation of study programs, external assessment of research activities and external assessment and accreditation of higher education and research institutions. To improve the quality of research and study activities and implement reporting, the Ministry of Education and Science initiates external assessments carried out by the Centre for Quality Assessment in Higher Education every six years. The Research and Higher Education Monitoring and Analysis Centre performs actual resource assessment based on a financial statement, official statistical data, and survey results received at a higher education institution. It also carries out a conformity assessment with guest experts from other countries when an institution completes self-evaluation and submits the report to the Centre for Quality Assessment in Higher Education. A decision on assessment and accreditation is made based on assessment results. Public relations is one of the critical areas of the General Jonas Žemaitis Military Academy of Lithuania and the whole National Defence System. The Military Academy of Lithuania cooperates actively with public institutions and non-governmental organizations. It cultivates relations with foreign military training establishments, thus contributing to national identity and civic education.

The Vasil Levski National Military is Bulgaria's national military academy. Founded in 1878 as a military school in Plovdiv, it was moved to Sofia the same year. On 19 April 1924, it was promoted to university status, and in 1945, it was named in honor of Bulgarian national hero Vasil Levski (1837–1873). Since 1958, it has been headquarters in Veliko Tarnovo. "Vasil Levski" National Military University is the heir of the rich traditions in military education and a successor of the first military school in Bulgaria, established in 1878. The first military school in Bulgaria was established on 26 November 1878 before Bulgaria had its government, before the Constituent Assembly's convention, and before the adoption of the Tarnovo Constitution. With the 23 April 1924 Edict of King Boris III, the military school was recognized as an institution of higher specialized education. There were only four higher education schools in Bulgaria – the Sofia University, the Free University for political and economic studies, the Arts Academy, and the National Music Academy. On 14 June 2002, Bulgarian military academies' structure was reorganized: the Veliko Tarnovo-based Vasil Levski National Military University also covers the artillery academy (now a faculty) in Shumen and the air force faculty in Dolna Mitropoliya. The Georgi Rakovski Military Academy, which functions as a staff college, remains independent. The primary purpose of training is to form leaders with leadership qualities, managerial knowledge and skills, and organizational capabilities. Main Tasks of "Vasil Levski" National Military University: Training of cadets towards Bachelor's Degree Training of civilian students towards Bachelor's and Master's Degrees Training towards the acquisition of Doctor's degrees Training of officers in postgraduate courses Carrying out scientific and applied research Publishing, cultural, and sports activities.

The United States Military Academy has been educating, training, and inspiring leaders of character for our United States Army and the nation for more than 200 years. West Point provides a 47-month leader-development program steeped in academic rigor, military discipline, and physical challenges, all built upon a moral-ethical foundation. The academy is an internationally recognized institution for academic, military, and physical excellence, and we are proud that today's cadets will become tomorrow's military, public and private-sector leaders. West Point's purpose is to produce leaders of character who are prepared to provide selfless service to our Army and the nation. West Point provides a broad-based and balanced curriculum to ensure graduates acquire knowledge, skills, and attributes necessary for them to effectively address the complex and uncertain challenges they will face in their personal and professional lives. When students enter the United States Military Academy at West Point, they are beginning a profession. Career development starts on the first day everything cadets experience is focused on developing them as leaders of character who will serve as officers in America's Army upon graduation when they are commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army. As they begin their military careers, they become leaders of Soldiers, and each new promotion brings additional responsibility and increased opportunity. West Point is about choosing a direction in life that puts service to the nation first and allows each graduate to be a standard-bearer for their generation and future generations. The cadets who graduate as commissioned officers and serve the nation are our lasting legacy and make West Point great. West Point strives to admit the best and brightest each year to ensure that the classrooms are places of intellectual rigor and stimulation, places where knowledge passes not just from instructor to cadet, but from cadet to cadet. West Point's Academic Program is a foundation for developing critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills. It includes a substantive set of fully integrated core courses that provide an appropriate balance between technical topics and the humanities. Cadets choose their areas of depth from more than 40 academic majors that span a broad spectrum of academic disciplines. The academic curriculum culminates with an integrative experience that is often an interdisciplinary and team-based project. Through the Senior Capstone Experience, students draw upon and apply knowledge in their chosen majors and knowledge gained throughout their studies. Often these projects provide real answers to real-world problems, result in presentations at academic conferences, and bring national recognition. Upon graduation, all cadets receive a Bachelor of Science degree and are fully prepared to meet the intellectual requirements of a leader in today's Army. The Physical Program at West Point includes both physical education classes and competitive athletics. It contributes to mental and physical fitness and allows the cadet to achieve the highest levels of physical development through a program that emphasizes a lifelong pursuit of personal fitness. The physical education curriculum spans all four years, and physical education class grades are incorporated into the cadet grade point average, highlighting the importance of physical fitness in the Army. Every cadet must participate in competitive sports throughout the academic year, whether in varsity intercollegiate athletics, intercollegiate clubs, or company athletics. The program challenges cadets every day but is widely regarded as both rewarding and enjoyable. While academic courses are the building blocks of most typical universities, career development at West Point is geared toward the cadet's goal of being an officer in the United States Army, so military discipline and training are paramount to their officer development. Cadets are immersed in a military environment where they are organized in companies and serve in leadership positions within the Corps of Cadets. The heart of military training takes place during the summer. The necessary Soldier skills of rifle marksmanship, land navigation, and close combat are, but the underpinnings of each cadet's initial training the first summer by graduation every cadet has participated in small-unit leadership training attended military schools such as Airborne and Air Assault served as senior leadership to junior cadets' summer training and interned as an office in active-duty units across the globe. Each summer of training builds the previous leadership skills so that each cadet is prepared to lead Soldiers and serve our nation by graduation. No matter what primary course of study they choose, cadets graduate with the knowledge, confidence, and ability to succeed in their careers. Our mission is "To educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country and prepared for a career of professional excellence and service to the Nation as an officer in the United States Army." Being accepted for admission to the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point is an exceptional honor reserved for our nation's most promising students.

Since 1884, St. John's Northwestern has prepared young men and women for college and a lifetime of opportunity. Nestled in the center of beautiful Delafield, Wisconsin, we are principally a boarding school for grades 7-12. For those living in the neighboring towns, there is also an active day student program. Academic excellence is at the center of the St. John's Northwestern experience. St. John's Northwestern has followed a format for the benefit of structure and the advancement of honor, dignity, and respect. In comparison, many graduates have been admitted to the five military service academies, the majority advance to notable colleges and universities worldwide. Independent Schools Association of the Central States National Association of Independent Schools Association of Military Schools & Colleges of the United States Wisconsin Independent Schools Association Midwest Boarding Schools The Association of Boarding Schools The College Board St. John's Northwestern Military Academy was created when two of the nation's most prestigious military boarding schools joined forces. In 1884, The Rev. Sidney Smythe founded St. John's Military Academy in Delafield, Wisconsin. From his time, writings described him as a firm, compassionate man whose life was devoted to young people. He exercised his dynamic personality for 39 years, inspiring, guiding, and instilling a strong sense of pride that is still prevalent on our campus today. The Beacon, a campus landmark, was erected in 1923 after Rev. Smythe's death. Built from fieldstones collected by cadets, it is adorned with his four sayings: "Do not be a mollycoddle," "Play the game," "The game is not over, 'til the whistle blows," and "Carry on." In summer 2018, St. John's Northwestern Leadership Academies was formed and opened its academic programs within a coeducational model to evolve its mission. In 2019, St. John's Northwestern announced a new, non-military yet leadership-focused, academic year academy named St. John's Northwestern Leadership Academy. St. John's Northwestern offers a structured, supportive environment where young people are guided to look within themselves to discover their unique strengths. Our programs cultivate emerging leaders who have confidence, self-mastery, and compassion and who inspire others by their example. View full school

Fork Union Military Academy is one of the leading US college preparatory military boarding schools for boys in grades 7-12 and postgraduate located in Fork Union, Virginia, right in the heart of central Virginia. We offer high-quality academics and athletics within a structure built around character development, self-discipline, responsibility, leadership development, and Christian values. The campus of Fork Union Military Academy provides a sanctuary from so many of the stresses and pressures that confront young men today. Each year, on average, we welcome young men from all around the USA and world...from about 35 states and approximately ten or more countries. We offer a diverse and welcoming environment. Located on 1,000 acres in rural central Virginia, the Academy is a beautiful and peaceful place, far from the city's noise and commotion, the aimless adolescent wandering of the suburban shopping malls, and the powerful peer pressures of popular culture. Most young men come to Fork Union Military Academy in search of a place where they can perform up to their full potential— a place where they can excel in both the classroom and the athletic field. These students find what young men have been seeking here since 1898: a challenging educational experience in a safe, structured environment where distractions are few and where every aspect of student life encourages academic achievement and personal growth. Our unique curriculum schedule, known as the One Subject Plan, has been in use for many decades. In addition to the course material, thousands of young men have experienced the absolute value of mastering the subject material they set out to learn. Studying one subject at a time is a unique experience intended to sharpen a young man's focus and improve his ability to concentrate. This is why you can count on our college acceptance rate, hitting 100% every year. Fork Union Military Academy was founded in 1898 by Dr. William Hatcher, a prominent Baptist minister. Christian values and biblical principles continue to undergird the entire program of Fork Union Military Academy. Our cadets are expected to conduct themselves with kindness and respect. This expectation is reinforced and clarified in the chapel services and student assemblies held during the week and Sunday mornings. Our goal is to provide young men a framework within which they may apply themselves to achieving their academic potential while growing as men of character and integrity. While the Academy is proud of our affiliation with the Baptist General Association of Virginia, our student body reflects the broad diversity of religious belief in our world. About 20% of our cadets are Baptist, another 20% are Catholic, approximately 20% are of another Christian denomination, nearly 20% are of another religious faith such as Jewish, Buddhist, or Muslim, and about 20% do not specify any religious affiliation. The goal of the military system at Fork Union Military Academy is not to turn young men into soldiers. Indeed, we have no affiliation with any branch of the armed forces. Instead, our goal is to use the best aspects of the military system to teach young men the value of being responsible for their actions, doing their work that needs to be done, and working with others toward a common purpose. We have identified a set of broadly agreed upon positive military courtesies, such as... Respect for authority Punctuality Self-discipline Accountability Personal and corporate hygiene We have superimposed these values on our living and learning environment—in the classroom, the locker room, the dining room, and the dorm room. At Fork Union Military Academy, our cadets are expected to tuck in their shirts, say "Yes, sir" and "No, ma'am," to stand when a lady enters and opens doors for others. Our cadets learn to look at others in the eye, address others with respect, and speak confidently. Our cadets are taught to "sweep in the corners"—that is, they are expected to pay attention to detail, be accountable for their actions, and set high standards for themselves and others. Our structure and discipline environment helps limit distractions and encourage students to focus on achievement in academics, athletics, and personal growth. View full school

Our mission is to Forge Educated, Honorable Young Men of Courage. Founded in 1879 by Waynesboro Native and Washington College Graduate, Professor James A. Fishburne, Fishburne Military School is woven into the very fabric of Waynesboro and Shenandoah Valley history. For 140 years, FMS has been preparing young men for lives of leadership and service. At the school’s inception, Fishburne wrote: “It is his purpose to have here an institution which shall rank as first-class in everything that constitutes true worth, and from which shall go forth loyal, earnest, industrious boys and young men, well-equipped for the duties and responsibilities of life, and above all else, to maintain a high standard of honor and integrity in the Corps of Cadets.” Today, Fishburne Military School is a leader in the United States Army JROTC Cadet Command’s Fourth Brigade and, as an Honor Unit with Distinction, holds the privilege of nominating qualified cadets to any of the United States Service Academies. As an all-male college preparatory school and leadership training program, Fishburne Military School’s modern mission is to provide each cadet with a sound academic foundation, a healthy mental and physical environment, and leadership training to better understand the obligations of honor, citizenship, and self-discipline. Academic success increases as class sizes decrease. For that reason, Fishburne Military School limits enrollment to 175 young men, which translates to average class sizes of between 8 and 12. Small classes mean more one-on-one instruction, which we all know is the best way to learn. Fishburne also requires students to attend supervised study halls in the evening, guaranteeing that our cadets stay focused, on task, and caught up. View full school
