Valley Forge Military Academy to Close After 2025-2026 Academic Year
Declining enrollment to 150 students and rising tuition above $49,000, along with abuse scandals and financial instability, led to the academy's closure after nearly 100 years.
- The private, all-boys college preparatory school located in Wayne, Pennsylvania, known as Valley Forge Military Academy, will cease operations permanently following the conclusion of the 2025-2026 school year.
- The closure comes after many years marked by serious accusations of severe hazing and sexual misconduct, coupled with declining student numbers, tuition surpassing $49,000, and sharply increasing insurance costs.
- In 2023, enrollment at the academy dropped to just 150 students amid a decline in insurers willing to offer coverage and mounting legal and financial difficulties.
- Board Chairman Gray Beck said the academy's nearly 100-year legacy will live on in graduates, faculty, staff, and supporters despite closure.
- Staff will assist families and cadets with transitions, and the separately governed Valley Forge Military College will continue operating.
