Valley Forge Military Academy College (usually shortened as VFMA C or Valley Forge) is an American all male preparatory boarding school (grades 7-12) and coeducational (as of Fall 2006) junior college in the military school tradition. Valley Forge Military College is officially designated as the Military College of Pennsylvania, and is one of five military junior colleges and is home to an Army ROTC Early Commissioning Program. The band is referred as "Philadelphia Orchestra of Military Bands." VFMAC is located in the Pennsylvania Main Line suburb of Wayne in Radnor Township, USA (outside of Philadelphia). Though military in tradition and form, Valley Forge Military Academy (the high school portion of VFMA C) is a college preparatory boarding institution specializing on student leadership. VFMA C`s administration is composed almost entirely of current or retired military and the Board of Trustees are almost entirely alumni. Some graduates pursue careers in armed services, and VFMA C has one Rhodes Scholar. VFMA C and the Duke of York`s Royal Military School, United Kingdom have become sister institutions. VFMAC has strong ties with various Royal Families and organizations.
