Riverside Military Academy, located in Gainesville, GA, has consistently remained one of the nation's best military, college preparatory schools educating boys for over 105 years. Serving boarding and day students in grades 7-12, Riverside's distinctive and positive educational environment motivates and challenges boys to reach their true potential. Our Corps of Cadets consists of more than 430 cadets from 22 countries. The Academy's beautiful 206 acre campus is located on the shores of Lake Lanier in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Riverside's vision is to be the premier or gold standard for military college preparatory school education in America. To realize this vision, we can, we will, we must achieve our mission, which remains to prepare ethical young men of character for success in college and thereafter through the provision of a rigorous academic program, leadership skills, competitive athletics, extensive co-curricular activities, and the structure and discipline inherent in a military college preparatory school.    

What makes Riverside Military Academy special? During these critical formative years when a young man's character, confidence, and work ethic are forever shaped, we provide the much-needed structure, organization, and discipline to help him flourish. Focused and motivated, cadets grow from young, impressionable boys into mature, confident leaders. The military structure of our academy enhances our overall educational experience by teaching personal and organizational responsibility, time management, and the value of collaboration.
