Pacific Military Academy
Cheviot Hills Military Academy operated as a K–9 military school from 1946 to 1952. Founded by Frank J.

The school was affiliated with the California Cadet Corps, offering a structured, military-style education to its students. During its operation, the academy averaged an enrollment of approximately 150 students across its ten grades. The majority of students boarded on campus in the main building, though a smaller group commuted daily. Military uniforms were mandatory, and the school adhered strictly to a military regimen.

The campus was originally built in 1929 as the Pacific Military Academy by Harry Culver, founder of Culver City. Its Florentine-style main building was desig ...

Military Academies Of The United States
A military, also known collectively as armed forces, is a heavily armed, highly organized force primarily intended for warfare. Militaries are typically authorized and maintained by a sovereign state, with their members identifiable by a distinct military uniform. They may consist of one or more military branches such as an army, navy, air force, space force, marines, or coast guard. The main task of a military is usually defined as defence of their state and its interests against external armed threats. In broad usage, the terms "armed forces" and "military" are often synonymous, although in technical usage a distinction is sometimes made in which a country's armed forces may include other paramilitary forces such as armed police. Beyond warfare, the military may be employed in additional sanctioned and non-sanctioned functions within the state, including internal security threats, crowd control, promotion of political agendas, emergency services and reconstruction, pro ...

Educational Institutions Established In 1946
Education is the transmission of knowledge and skills and the development of character traits. Formal education occurs within a structured institutional framework, such as public schools, following a curriculum. Non-formal education also follows a structured approach but occurs outside the formal schooling system, while informal education involves unstructured learning through daily experiences. Formal and non-formal education are categorized into levels, including early childhood education, primary education, secondary education, and tertiary education. Other classifications focus on teaching methods, such as teacher-centered and Student-centered learning, student-centered education, and on subjects, such as science education, language education, and physical education.
