Building Tomorrow's Leaders, today.


We focus not just on graduation, but also building careers.

Cadets are in a structured environment and have the opportunity for robust academic and extra-curricular instruction that will develop their academics, character, and ultimately leadership. 

These are key ingredients to a successful life. 

Utah Military Academy is a public charter school that focuses on career and college preparation. We are not a "reform" school or treatment program. We expect appropriate behavior and conduct of all cadets. UMA strives to inspire leadership, responsibility, self-discipline, and community involvement within each cadet.
