Military Magnet Academy (MMA) prepares

cadets to become academically competent,

disciplined, and responsible citizens. In addition to

offering rigorous coursework for young men and

women, the school applies a military environment

that teaches students the importance of civic duty.

MMA is the first of its kind in the nation, and is

located off Rivers Avenue in North Charleston. It

opened in 1997 as a school for students in grades 6 to

8. The magnet school now serves students in grades

6 to 12. In 2009, substantial renovations to the

building were completed, making MMA the perfect

state-of-the-art learning environment for students

across the county.

MMA is not a discipline school, but instead is a school

that builds discipline. The curriculum is challenging

and designed to prepare students for today’s

workforce or post-secondary education. The school

helps students to build leadership characteristics.

Every cadet is an asset, and MMA believes that every

cadet can and will be successful.
