A school where not only do you learn reading, writing, and arithmetic, but also how to march, stand to attention, and shoot a rifle. Military schools are institutions which aim to instill military-style discipline in students. Often the explicit goal of such schools is to prepare students for military careers. The military school is intended for minors, as opposed to the Military Academy which trains at the undergraduate university level. The idea of the military school is rapidly becoming a Dead Horse Trope. Military schools were more common in ages where service was a family tradition, especially among aristocrats, and large standing armies sought new manpower all the time. They were (and are) also very common in dictatorships where the school seeks to instill loyalty to the regime (such as the Hitler Youth or the Young Baath Party). In modern America, this had once varied; in the 1990's and the late 1980's, it was considered justified for "problem" kids and delinquents whose parents were oft too busy to handle raising them in a nuclear family structure with a 9 to 5 job, but thanks to massive publicity of on site abuse, deaths of internees, and extremely harsh and inhumane treatment by both incompetent and criminally aggressive individuals, even its heads,note The camp mentioned in question horrified the notoriously nasty Sheriff Joe Arpaio sending youths to military camps is viewed as borderline child abuse and most such institutions have closed. In fiction, a rebellious teen may be threatened with one, or be sent to one if they've been Expelled from Every Other School, making it a variation on the Boarding School of Horrors theme. It is also a common basis for a Boot Camp Episode or Off to Boarding School. Compare Military Academy, which is for older students who tend to take it more seriously. Sometimes includes an element of Ho Yay or Homoerotic Subtext, due to the fact that military schools in fiction and reality tend to either be all-male or mostly male. Absurdly Powerful Student Council exists here in the form of a command staff. May be a School of Hard Knocks, with at minimum a rigorous physical discipline regime. |

In "The Lost Weekend" episode of The Cosby Show, Cliff takes Theo (who had thrown a small party for himself and seven friends while the parents were out that somehow escalated into a Wild Teen Party for 180 people that wrecked the house) to enroll him either in military school or the Army itself, only to be turned away by a recruiting officer who outright announces to the crowd—Cliff marvels at the fact that no less than 50 people were there with their kids—this was NOT the place to dump off misbehaving children, as cited in "Real Life" section. | |

In an episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987), a kid was sent to one of these schools after Crying Wolf about Alien Invasions too many times; it looked legit until he found out it was under the control of two bona-fide aliens, Wingnut and Screwloose. | |

The Threshold episode "Blood of the Children" has the Threshold crew investigating a military school. The school itself is portrayed positively, with the principal being a Reasonable Authority Figure and all of the students seeming to be well-adjusted aside from the one who's been infected by the alien signal, but that's hardly the school's fault. | |

The Lords of Discipline: A group of senior cadets try to force freshman cadets they disapprove of to leave their Military School, including the first black cadet who was enrolled. (In fact, "Carolina Military Institute" is an obvious stand-in for The Citadel, The Military COLLEGE of South Carolina.) Lords of Discipline is about more than just the Citadel. Its a fictional college that is a mash-up of Citadel, VMI, and West Point, though the author did go to the Citadel. |

King of the Hill: Bobby attended Cotton's old military school for one episode, at Cotton's suggestion, in order to learn some discipline. To Cotton's horror, the brutal hellhole he fondly remembered had gone soft (though not by choice, it had just been sued into oblivion and was forced to). Cotton takes over the school and runs it like how it used to be ran when he went there, being a Drill Sergeant Nasty and punishing Bobby relentlessly in an effort to toughen him up. To his frustration, Bobby isn't bothered by any of the punishment and just takes it all without even breaking a sweat. | |

In the first The Sims game, children whose grades stay at F for several days are sent off to military school for the rest of their lives — they disappear from the family forever. This is different to later games in the The Sims series, where they're taken away by a social worker (as is the case should they're neglected from fundamental needs like food and hygiene) instead. | |

NCIS: In S12, Ep14 "Cadence" we learn that DiNozzo attended one his senior year. We get to visit it because the Victim of the Week was also an alumnus. The archetypal unpleasantness of said academies was emphasized by the existence of Honor Corps, a self-appointed and totally unregulated student organization that hazed anybody who failed to meet arbitrary school standards, talked back to people in authority (Even if it was justified), or wouldn't date one of their members. | |

Up the Academy - a comedic take. At the Sheldon R. Wienberg academy, four young teens are sent to school and learn the discipline that the school teaches. Almost immediately, they don't like what is going on. Along the way, they plan their own actions from looking for girls to holding a party without the faculty's knowledge. | |

A place like this was used as a setting in a Spider-Man story where he was helping The Punisher uncover a Government Conspiracy involving a huge stash of marijuana. Turned out it was being stored there. "Makes sense," claimed Frank. "The government has control, nobody would question the presence of munitions or "supplies" and most importantly, who'd ever suspect school children of guarding the world's largest stash?" Fortunately, they managed to solve the problem without any kids getting hurt, but this was one case where Spidey got so angry at the guy in charge that Frank had to hold him back. | |

Another more positive portrayal is in the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles episode "Goodbye To All That". John and Derek go undercover at a military school to protect a student they suspect is being targeted by a Terminator. Because of their backgrounds (John spent most of his childhood training to lead humanity against Skynet and Derek is from that future) they actually fit in well in the military environment. John is even seen correcting some of the students on weapons handling. | |

Schola Progenium in Warhammer 40,000 takes in Emperor Servants' orphans at a pretty young age, so for several lower levels it's pretty much this trope, and this can be seen in a couple of the tie-in novels that bother to mention Schola at all, like Cain's Last Stand. For older cadets already taking special courses it's more like Military Academy, though. Unlike what one might expect, the Schola is usually not a Boarding School of Horrors. The food tends to be decent, the teachers harsh but not sadistic, and the education's about as good as it gets. | |
