Most of us have been very familiar with military boarding school and other kinds of military-related schools. We’ve also been oriented as to what these army schools have done in order for the young generation to grow and develop into responsible citizens.

But how effective are these schools really? How are we going to attest it? Well, testimonials from parents who chose to let their children enrol to these schools will definitely serve as good evidence. Here are three of the various quoted testimonials that parents shared in a post. It was specifically detailing a definite military school to which some of you might have been interested to go to.

I really cannot believe what some people say about the MMA, It’s the most wonderful school environment ever. Our young men become well rounded and strong in all aspects of their world around them. My Hats off to the MMA. - Submitted by a parent

My son attended the summer camp program and he had an excellent experience. He worked hard, made good friends, had a lot of fun, got to feel an enormous sense of accomplishment running the obstacle courses and he even learned to make his bed and sweep the floor (lol). He was also in the aerospace elective so he now has knowledge and some experience flying small planes which is SUPER COOL! I am very satisfied with my decision to send him for a month this summer. It was an experience of a lifetime for him and he will take the memories and many of the lessons he learned with him. - Submitted by a parent

I hope the listed testimonials above served as your evaluator that indeed, military schools are worth enrolling to.

A national curriculum provider named Moody High School’s Innovation Academy among the country’s top 16 model schools for engineering-based programming.

The school, which was among more than 4,200 eligible nationwide for this year’s award, is the lone Texas recipient, Project Lead The Way officials said.

Clifton Park, N.Y.-based, nonprofit curriculum provider Project Lead The Way supplies science, technology, engineering and math programming to schools, and the organization annually recognizes its top partner schools.

“What it’s really saying to us is that what’s happening at that school is extraordinary,” Corpus Christi Independent School District Superintendent Scott Elliff said.

He said Moody has many other programs, such as the Health Science Academy, that also contribute to the school’s exemplar reputation.

Moody has incorporated the organization’s curriculum since its Innovation Academy for Engineering, Environmental & Marine Science began five years ago, said Tina Dellinger, Moody’s dean of science, technology, engineering and math instruction and student services.

Dellinger said the national recognition acknowledges what Moody’s academy does well, and that is prepare students for college-level engineering programs.

Academy students take an introductory engineering class as freshmen and specialized programming such as aerospace, biotechnical and civil engineering courses through their senior year.

In their senior year, students take an engineering design and development course, Dellinger said.

Through Project Lead The Way’s existing partnerships with colleges and universities nationwide, many high school students graduating from schools using the organization’s curriculum can receive articulated college engineering credit, Dellinger said.

“They know that they have met a high level of rigor,” she said.

A book I co-edited with Dr. Andy Milson and Dr. Ali Demirci has just been published by Springer, entitled International Perspectives on Teaching and Learning with GIS in Secondary Schools. This is the first publication to collate a broad international perspective on the pedagogical value of GIS technology in classrooms, and offers an unprecedented range of expert views on the subject. For more information and to read sections of the book online, the publisher’s site. The authors created a series of five videos describing the book.

This book brings together authors from 33 countries who profile the current status of GIS in secondary school teaching and learning in their country. We have been honored to have worked with each of our authors and to hear their inspiring stories. Each chapter includes a summary of the country’s educational context, a case study illustrating how GIS is used in secondary schooling, and an assessment of the opportunities and challenges in teaching and learning with GIS now and in the future.

There are 195 public high schools in the Washington area. I know because I just counted them on a list that is one of my most treasured possessions. On it I have recorded annual data on every school, in some cases dating to 1996.

But that 195 is deceptive. It does not include some alternative and vocational schools that are small and rarely offer college-level courses, my prime focus. The number can also change depending on how you define the metropolitan area. When my editors aren’t looking, I add schools — such as two in Caroline County on the Eastern Shore of Maryland — that The Washington Post does not consider part of our local region, but that interest me.

My supervisors have caught on to this. But their philosophy is to humor the old guy. So I try to be as accurate as I can be. The 195 schools include only those in districts that The Post considers part of our circulation area.

My ambition is to develop a complete list of every high school in the nation. Sever
