Welcome to the Carson Long website,
I am truly honored to be the President of Carson Long Military Academy. The 2010-11 academic year marks my fourth year as President. The school’s vision of “Education for Life” and the motto “How to Learn, How to Labor, How to Live” are the principles which provide us the opportunity to positively influence the lives of young men. I enjoy the responsibility of leading this outstanding organization because I believe our nation needs young men with character and knowledge.
Our goal is to help each individual cadet grow and mature to reach his potential. I believe that each student has within them the desire and ability to learn. What they want to learn and how they learn are unique to each individual. Carson Long is a college preparatory school with the military component instilling a sense of discipline and developing an orderly mind to achieve a set of life's goals. We believe Carson Long's leadership programs build character and confidence and instills discipline that enables our graduates to create and maximize opportunities that they otherwise wouldn't have had.
Carson Long’s challenging academic program prepares cadets for college or whatever route they choose, including the service academies. Students and alumni tell us they find our small class size and faculty supervised study halls are the keys to their academic success at Carson Long. Our faculty is committed to ensuring our cadets reach their academic potential.
Character - Spending time at Carson Long shapes and molds young men's values and views of themselves and their world.
Leadership - The Carson Long Experience hones and develops leadership skills in ways that public schools and many home environments can not.
Opportunity - Carson Long prepares cadets to identify and maximize opportunities they might have overlooked or been unable to act upon prior to their time at the school.
Parents tell us that their boys become men. Graduates talk about how their lives were changed because of Carson Long. We know it works…we know it to be true…
I encourage you to spend some time browsing our website, requesting one of our catalogs, and finally visiting our safe and beautiful campus. I hope Carson Long can fulfill your needs.
Regards,
COL (R) Matthew J. Brown
President
Carson Long Military Academy
