With its origin dating back to 1842, the Institute has achieved a national reputation for developing young men and women into successful citizens and military professionals. The educational program is designed to challenge and develop the cadets' intellectual potential while simultaneously nurturing and fostering the development of personal values that include character, integrity, and judgment.
