Alabama's Military School for Boys

Grades 6-12

For 125 years, Southern Preparatory Academy has existed to educate and train future generations of leaders. As a military boarding school in Camp Hill, Alabama, Southern Prep is dedicated to creating a positive environment where our students live and learn without the distractions found in public schools. Our Corps of Cadets class size is small on purpose – about 130 young men – this forges a close-knit environment between our students, who are navigating the same new challenges.

Southern Prep is renowned for our exemplary academics, commendable military traditions, competitive athletics, and innovative signature programs. We are not JUST a military high school; we are a boarding school, private school, college prep school, and an all boys school rolled into one. Since 1898, we’ve provided our students with the discipline and structure needed for focus, self-reliance, and success.

Applications are open for spring 2024! Success starts here!

Signature Programs
