Oak Ridge Military Academy (ORMA) has a “Spring Advantage Program” for students in need of academic “revival.” This program has flourished by offering an opportunity for students in grades 7 – 11 to “get back on track” so as to re-target their projected graduation date. That means if a student is not expected to pass the year, we at the Academy offer a chance to salvage the school year by enrolling in March and attending the Summer School Program. Obviously, this is not a guarantee for success, but it will certainly afford the student a new start toward a much higher level of academic achievement.
