St. John's Northwestern Military Academy

St. John's Northwestern Military Academy is a boarding school in Delafield featuring English Gothic stone architecture arranged in a U-shape around a central drill field. The institution educates students from grades 6 through 12 with approximately 200 students and maintains a student-teacher ratio of one to twelve.

The school was founded in 1884 by Reverend Sidney T. Smythe as an independent military institution. In 1995, it merged with Northwestern Military and Naval Academy to become the school that operates today.

The school embodies a blend of military tradition and student life, where daily training in formation teaches responsibility and leadership. The buildings and grounds reflect an institution where discipline shapes character alongside education.

The campus is accessible year-round with a clearly organized layout featuring training areas and academic buildings. Visitors should note that access to certain areas may be limited during classes and training activities.

Notably, students can earn private pilot licenses through the engineering, robotics, and aviation program. The curriculum uses advanced flight simulator equipment to prepare learners for actual flying.
