Greetings from Army and Navy Academy!

We have the distinct pleasure of announcing the celebration of Army and Navy Academy’s Centennial year. Founded in 1910, the Academy has served thousands of
young men who have gone on to lead successful and purposeful lives representing virtually every profession imaginable. As important, countless alumni return to our
beautiful Carlsbad campus in order to convey that their experience as a cadet was their most critical and formative experience in preparing them for college and beyond.

Today, 300 young men in grades 7 to 12 from around the world walk in their footsteps preserving the rich traditions while embracing a rigorous yet supportive college
prep curriculum. Due to the unwavering care and professionalism of our outstanding faculty and staff, we take great pride in witnessing positive growth in their self-
confidence, self-reliance, and directness of purpose as they prepare to lead responsible and productive lives.

As the Academy turns 100, we are reaching out to our friends in the community to tell our story and convey our plans for the future. Recently, the city of Carlsbad
approved our campus wide master plan which involves significant renovation of our existing facilities as well as a number of new structures including academic buildings,
dormitories, and athletic facilities. We intend to preserve our beautiful Spanish Mission architecture while at the same time create a world class campus that will further
help our faculty and staff deliver the very best educational experience possible for our cadets.

We hope you enjoy this section of the San Diego Business Journal and encourage you to pass it along to whomever you feel might be interested in learning more about
Army and Navy Academy, whether it is a potential future cadet or someone who might be interested in partnering with us as we make our future dreams become reality.

Thank you for your interest and we encourage you to visit our campus. We are proud to carry the torch of all who have gone before us and vow to continue to uphold our
mission: to educate and develop young men of good character.

History and Values

Army and Navy Academy, located along the shores in Carlsbad, California, is a college
preparatory, military-style boarding school for young men in Grades 7 through 12. The
Academy was founded with 13 students in Pacific Beach, November 23, 1910 and relocated
35 miles north of San Diego and 80 miles south of Los Angeles to the village of Carlsbad
in 1936. Unlike most traditional military boarding schools, the Academy consists of 29
buildings on 16.5 acres adjacent the Pacific Ocean allowing students beachfront access for
water sports, in addition to traditional sports such as football, baseball, basketball, hockey
and cross country.
Army Navy has a rich tradition in promoting character, leadership, and scholarship.
The Academy is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, National
Association of Independent Schools as well as the California Association of Independent
Schools. Core values instilled in Army Navy graduates include leadership, excellence, honor,
responsibility, loyalty and compassion.
The Academy promotes discipline and leadership through character development
lessons. This is provided through our Leadership Education Training (LET) classes which
includes the US Army’s Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps ( JROTC) program. These
lessons extend outside of our classrooms and into other aspects of young men’s lives. A
cadet’s experience in athletics, clubs, and residential life reinforces teamwork, lasting
friendships, and ongoing personal growth.

Over 6,000 boys have crossed the threshold of the Academy on their way towards becoming young men of good character and acquiring the knowledge and skills to lead
successful lives, be contributing citizens, and be responsible leaders in their communities. They are all products of “The Army Navy Experience” - a 100 year “new” tradition
built on excellence in Academics, Athletics and Leadership.
Excellence in Academics
What makes for excellence in Academics?
Small classrooms, personal attention
and discipline to one’s studies motivate
each cadet to reach his potential.
Since its inception in 1910, Army and
Navy Academy has sought to develop
scholarship and honorable character in
young men. In order to achieve these ends,
it is essential that the academic curriculum
be appropriately demanding and stress the
attributes of good citizenship. The rigorous
core curriculum, based on the University
of California’s entrance requirements,
is taught through a carefully developed
learning system. Our program offers a
college preparatory curriculum including
over 10 AP courses, as well as a multitude
of honors classes. Classes and exposure to
visual arts, drama, and music allows each
cadet to explore and express his creative
side. Recognizing that each cadet learns
Cadet Learning Expectations
The Army and Navy Academy cadet will . . .
• Develop intellectual curiosity,
creativity, and independent thought
through a rigorous academic core
that prepares each cadet for the
challenges of a post-secondary
education.
• Become an information-literate
student who can gather, evaluate,
and analyze facts in order to draw
meaningful and valid conclusions in
an ethical manner.
• Demonstrate an understanding
of civic responsibilities and a
commitment to service.
• Relate successfully to others, accept
responsibility, demonstrate empathy,
and adapt to change as he faces the
problems that confront him now
and in the future.
• Develop mature habits and
skills that promote life-long good
“
emotional health.
• Develop an appreciation for cultural
diversity in our modern world.
Excellence in Academics boils down
to: passionate teachers, challenging
college-prep curricula, motivating and
structured learning environments and
positive role models. Excellence in
Academics is an essential building block
of “The Army Navy Experience.”

differently, on average the student-to-
teacher ratio of 10:1 allows for customized
strategies and tutoring.
Last year, 100% of the Class of 2009
was accepted to one or more colleges or
universities. Included in these schools were:
MIT, Rutgers, Penn State, University of
California (Los Angeles, Davis, Irvine,
Santa Cruz); USC, USD, NYU, The
Citadel, Pepperdine and many other fine
educational institutions.
A large portion of the credit for
the successes of our graduates goes to

Excellence in Athletics
What makes for Excellence in Athletics?
I
s excellence in Athletics all about winning? Even with seven CIF championships and
75 league titles at Army Navy, winning isn’t just about the final score. Cadets also
win when they work as a team; sacrificing individual needs for a common goal and
showing resilience by picking themselves up, practicing and trying again. These are the
scores that really matter when we move from the playing field to the field of life. Over
85% of our cadets participate in some competitive athletics program. We encourage
everyone to get into the game – both on and off the field.
Interscholastic sports have been a vital component in “The Army Navy Experience”
since the day the school was founded nearly 100 years ago.
Army Navy sports teams are known as the Warriors, and there are 11 varsity sports.
We are members of the Coastal League in all sports with the exception of football
where we belong to the Pacific League, and we are also a part of the CIF San Diego
Section. Additionally, The Academy also sponsors several club teams managed by the
Associated Student Body.

Excellence in Athletics
High School Sports
The school also offers an interscholastic
rifle team.
Middle School Sports
Middle School (7th and 8th grade) sports
include: Flag Football • Basketball • Baseball
Competitive Club Sports
In addition to Fall, Winter and Spring
Sports, ANA offers several sports clubs on-
campus for cadet’s to participate in. These
include: Hockey • Surf • Cycling
Coaches are fully dedicated to
providing cadets with a positive athletic
experience that will highlight respect,
responsibility, loyalty, integrity, and
discipline. With these values comes the
true pride of being and always remaining
an Army Navy Warrior. Warrior Pride!
Criteria for becoming a member of one
of the athletics teams is motivation to work
hard, willingness to expand your learning
capacity, and positive and supportive attitude
to all team members. Limited enrollment
in the Academy allows cadets to have the
chance to participate in almost any sport,
regardless of skill level. This criteria is part
of what makes the Academy such a unique
environment for young men to nurture all of
their capabilities and realize their potential.

Excellence in Leadership
What makes for Excellence in Leadership?

O
n the field, in the classroom, and in the dorm, virtually 24/7, cadets are
constantly urged to assume increasingly responsible leadership roles at a pace
that reflects their own capabilities. Like in “the real world”, especially the world
of work, cadets at the Academy learn that leadership responsibility is earned based on
knowledge, skills, and abilities and not something automatically granted because of age,
size or physical strength. The Corps of Cadets is organized as a battalion, a typical
military structure with promotions based on academic achievement, conduct, proven
leadership abilities, dependability, sportsmanship, and adherence to the Academy’s values.
Cadets learn character and responsibility through leading others. The cadet leaders,
because they are in direct control of other cadets, have a unique opportunity to be
responsible. Their actions affect not only themselves but also other people in their close-
knit community. They can be a positive, constructive influence in the development of
a younger cadet. Many of them have had an older cadet mentor them, helping them

“
get through, so they are willing to do the same and understand the value. When the
cadets are given this power and responsibility (appropriately monitored), they usually
flourish into diligent leaders. Along the way, they learn to be counselors and mediators, One could say that putting my appreciation for this Academy in words would be
motivators, critics and encouragers. The military structure is well suited for this, giving the near impossible. The respect and love I feel for you is beyond mere words on paper

cadets more and more responsibility as they move higher and higher up, gaining respect
and earning rewards as they go.
The levels of leadership involve specific training that is provided during the academic
day in the Leadership Education Training class (LET period). The LET program
currently includes the US Army’s JROTC program ( Junior Reserve Officer Training
Corps), first-aid and CPR training, time management, aspects of team building and
leadership training used in the corporate world, and a character development program
designed by the Academy administration. Though less than 1% of Army and Navy
graduates enter military service, 100% of our cadets continue their personal journey
after Army Navy, prepared for future leadership roles complimented by a strong sense of
independence, responsibility and moral and ethical values.
“
. . . Thank you, mother and father, for allowing me the opportunity to build a
strong foundation for my future.

Class of 2007
We’ve all heard the notion that some leaders are born, others are made. At the
Academy, all leaders are made from the young man who has the innate charisma to lead
but may need support in making better decisions to the deliberate and thoughtful young
man, who must also find his voice in leading others. We work with each cadet to instill
in them the necessary characteristics toward becoming effective leaders. Leadership is
perhaps the most important leg in “The Army Navy Experience.”

Looking Ahead to the Next 100 Years

T
hank you for taking the time to familiarize yourself with the rich legacy of the
Army and Navy Academy. We are extraordinarily proud of our service in educating
thousands of young men to understand the reach of their potential and to pursue
their dreams accordingly. As we continue celebrating our Centennial, we are also looking
ahead to the next 100 years with great anticipation. With a growing network of active
alumni, a visionary Board of Trustees, grateful families, dedicated faculty and staff and
a renewed engagement with foundations, businesses and individuals from our local and
regional community, we are eagerly planning the launch of a multi-million dollar capital
campaign focused on bringing the drawings and ideas expressed in our recently approved
Master Plan to fruition. All the while, Army Navy remains steadfast in our commitment to
our core values of Leadership, Excellence, Honor, Responsibility, Loyalty and Compassion
and our ultimate purpose in educating and developing young men of good character.
We invite you to take a personal tour of our 16-acre beachfront campus and to witness
the extraordinary educational journey we call “The Army Navy Experience.”
