"I absolutely love this school. It feels like home. Adults really care about you and it is safe. We have fun activities and I am learning a lot.” (Ashley, Grade 6)

Welcome
OMI’s singular purpose is academic excellence. By participating in a military learning environment, cadets will develop personal discipline and leadership skills. The goal of OMI is to graduate cadets who are capable of meeting the academic requirements for any university in the nation and who are prepared for their roles as future leaders. The demanding academic program includes language arts, math, science and history, as well as world languages and leadership training. OMI seeks and supports students who have ambition and are ready to take responsibility for their own learning. We understand that some of our cadets enter OMI performing below grade level standards, and we support these students by providing extra opportunities to accelerate learning, e.g., Saturday school, after school classes, or study hall. It is our expectation that each cadet will take advantage of these opportunities, and through hard work, determination, and a positive attitude do whatever it takes to meet OMI’s academic standards. OMI offers a positive learning environment, enhanced by leadership, teamwork, and the safe and structured discipline of the military. All cadets participate as members of the California Cadet Corps, rotating through positions of leadership. Cadets develop a sense of pride and community at OMI by learning military customs and courtesies, and by receiving recognition, promotions and awards for their accomplishments. The disciplinary system, patterned after the military model, is fair and predictable. Cadets learn what is expected of them at the Summer Camp prior to their enrollment at OMI. Cadets who do not meet our expectations for conduct forfeit their opportunity to attend OMI. The overall goal of the military framework at OMI is to foster and support achievement of the Institute's academic and leadership goals.
