  • VALLEY FORGE MILITARY CHARTER SCHOOL 2022 the History of Valley Forge Military Academy
    VALLEY FORGE MILITARY CHARTER SCHOOL 2022 The History of Valley Forge Military Academy In 1928, Lieutenant General Milton G. Baker founded Valley Forge Military Academy. The school was originally housed in an old Victorian building in Devon, the former Devon Park Hotel and it was comprised of 14 staff and 125 cadets its first year. On January 18, 1929 a fire broke out and the school was destroyed. Fortunately, no lives were lost in the incident, but General Baker was faced with the problem of beginning again and finding a new home for his institution. General Baker found that home in Wayne, in what formerly had been St. Luke’s Preparatory School. VFMAC continues to educate its cadets at this location. The History of Valley Forge Military Academy Today, Valley Forge Military Academy is an independent, private, college preparatory school for boys in grades 7-12 founded with the purpose of developing boys into young men of character, integrity and discipline. The Academy offers college preparatory academics, credentialed faculty, competitive PIAA athletics, and individual attention, providing cadets with an environment focused on their academic success. In 1935, Valley Forge Military Junior College was founded as a two-year all boys military junior college and is currently dubbed “The Military College of Pennsylvania™”. The College was created as an extension of the Academy and together the cadets from both schools form one Corps of Cadets. Today, the College is a co-educational, accredited two-year private college. It is one of only four Army ROTC Early Commissioning Programs (ECP) in the U.S., and the only in the North East.
