structure complements academic performance by
removing distractions to sharpen focus, a skill
Erickson says is essential for college. “Our students
are prepared for college because they’ve developed
the ability to focus and manage their time, but
they’re also able to ask for help if they need it.”
Despite its intimate size, the academy offers a
variety of rotating electives, plus numerous extracurricular activities. Just visit the school’s website
(lwma.org) for a gallery packed with candid shots
of kids doing what all kids love to do — have fun.
Sports participation is required of every cadet to
build physical stamina and enhance well-being,
and options range from football and baseball to
Rangers, which builds advanced military skills
modeled after Army infantry training.
Lyman Ward was founded in 1898 by an ordained minister, and that spiritual heritage is reflected today through regular chapel services and
a respect for all faith traditions.
“We welcome diversity, and it’s another way
Lyman Ward strengthens character,” Erickson says,
explaining that cadets’ shared experience breaks
down barriers and forms lifelong friendships. “The
magic of military school is more than learning to
march and keeping the barracks clean — it’s the
accountability and the relationships that cadets
develop with each other.”
