Hill Military Academy, Military academy in Portland, United States
Hill Military Academy was a private educational institution on a campus in Portland with buildings for instruction and military training. The main complex included several structures supporting both academic and physical education.
The academy started in 1901 as a private school and gained attention for its role in a major court case protecting private education. This occurred when such institutions were defending their right to operate independently.
The school combined regular education with military discipline, giving students hands-on experience through structured training activities. This created a learning environment where responsibility and physical fitness held equal importance.
The school accepted both boarding and day students and offered a structured program with regular training activities. Visitors should note that the facility is no longer operating.
The institution started a flight school in 1927 at a local airstrip, later moving operations to another location. This was an unusual offering for a school of that era.
