Utah Military Academy

As a day school, UMA operates on a modified A/B format within JROTC classes. Mondays and Wednesdays are A days, Tuesdays and Thursdays are B days, and Fridays serve as flex days for remediation, reinforcement, special events, and physical training. Cadets wear uniforms daily representing the military culture that is 'part of life, every day, every way' at UMA. The structured environment provides robust academic and extracurricular instruction designed to develop academics, character, and leadership. Both campuses work closely with the Civil Air Patrol and Naval Sea Cadets, offering additional leadership development opportunities beyond the AFJROTC curriculum.

Utah Military Academy operates under the Air Force JROTC discipline model, emphasizing the core values of integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do. The school uses a military framework not as reform but to teach self-discipline, leadership, and goal achievement. Cadets progress through a structured rank system with increasing responsibilities. The Four Pillars of UMA—Academics, Leadership, Citizenship, and Athletics—guide cadet development. Strong partnerships with an experienced board of directors, dedicated school leadership, and committed parents create a task-oriented environment that demands much of cadets while supporting them at every turn toward achieving their goals.
