 There's never been a tougher time to be a child…or a
parent. Today's children are being influenced by forces beyond our control - from peer
pressure and pop culture to music and the media. For the last 30 years, Gallup Polls have
consistently noted that lack of discipline in public schools is one of the leading
concerns of both parents and students. And as violence, drug and alcohol abuse, gangs,
and other social issues have become increasingly prevalent in our public schools, many of
today's youth are unable to find the discipline and direction they need to realize their
potential.

Testimonials:
"Valley Forge has truly brought out my son's potential!"
Colleen Kerno, parent of Michael Kerno '01
"Valley Forge
should be of interest to parents of students whose sons are at the top of their academic
form and parents whose sons have not yet reached their potential. It's a place that
motivates all students to succeed."
Dearnley@aol.com, parent of Charles Austin '00
"My son has thrived in the military atmosphere and has worked hard to maintain a
high level of achievement and self-discipline. Valley Forge has truly been a 'family' to
him, and it will be difficult for him to leave at the end of this year."
Nancy Potter, parent of Jason Potter '00, student at the U.S. Naval
Academy
"Valley
Forge teaches young men to achieve more than they thought they ever could - to be honest
and fair…to be proud of their successes and to learn from their failures…to
support and help each other…to be responsible and accountable…and to never doubt
their ability."
