Valley Forge Military Academy and College — Local services in Radnor Township

My son went to this school as an incoming freshman. He had a horrible experience. The lack of leadership in the barracks was awful. My son experienced hazing, bulling, was beat up several times and nothing was ever done to the students who committed the crimes. It got so bad we had to pull him out of there two months prior to the year end. He tried hard to do the right thing at all times and never got into trouble. He passed his Plebe with no problem and was often told by his TAC officers that he was the best cadet in the barracks. The bad cadets had no accountability and the TAC Officers were either too lazy to do anything about it or just got so fed up with the problems they quit their job. This school takes any derelict that comes off of the street but they don't know how to handle the kids. If you are thinking of sending your child to a military academy, my advice is you look elsewhere. My son became really scarred because of this bad school and it's taken medication and one year of therapy to get him back in shape. VFMAC might have been a great school before...

We are the proud parents of our son who has attended Valley Forge Military academy for 3 years.

Thanks again to all the staff and faculty that dedicate their lives to...
