Academic Support

Camden Military Academy has numerous academic supports in place to ensure that your cadet is achieving and maximizing his potential.

Supervised Study Hall

Each evening cadets will participate in a mandatory supervised study hall. The study hall takes place in the barracks. Teachers are assigned to each barracks to ensure students are staying on task and to answer any questions the cadets may have.

Tutorials

Tutorials are held daily and are built into our school day. Each tutorial provides cadets with an extra 20 minutes of instruction in classes where deficits are present. These tutorials can become mandatory depending on the grade in the class.

Is it ADD, ADHD or just boys being boys? At Camden Military Academy, it doesn’t matter because the daily structure offered is what will help your son succeed! CMA does not believe that education is one size fits all. CMA’s supportive faculty will work with each student individually to help him reach his full potential.

Many students with ADD or ADHD enter Camden Military Academy with either an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or a 504 plan from their public school district. Both of these educational plans offer accommodations that the public school should implement so that your son can be successful. However, the goals and objectives are often not met because of the extra time and attention that is needed for each student. The daily routine at Camden meets or exceeds the goals and objectives of most educational plans. On a daily basis, CMA offers…

Small classes
Individualized instruction
Supervised and mandatory study hall
Traditional daily schedule (not a block schedule)
40 minute classes
Accommodations if needed (extra test time, oral test vs. written, etc…)
Tutoring
Supervised medication management (if needed)

Camden Military Academy provides structured support for students who identify as neurodiverse and diagnosed with ADD, ADHD, and other mild learning challenges by creating a highly disciplined, distraction-free environment that encourages focus and accountability. Small class sizes allow teachers to give more individualized attention, and academic support services are available to help students stay organized and on track. The school emphasizes routine and consistency which are key elements in helping students with attention-related challenges thrive. Additionally, our faculty and staff recognize the unique needs of each cadet and work closely with the cadets to provide strategies that support academic growth and personal development.

When a student transfers to Camden Military Academy with a 504 Plan or an IEP from a public school, the academic team reviews the documentation to develop an Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) tailored to the cadet’s specific needs. This process involves identifying the accommodations or modifications that can be realistically supported within our structured, traditional learning environment. The ILP may include extended time on tests, preferential seating, assistance with organization, or other strategies designed to help the student succeed. Teachers are informed of the cadet’s needs ensuring that the student’s learning challenges are addressed while still holding them to high academic and behavioral standards.
