To Save Our Young Men

Eagle Military Academy was founded in 2001 to educate and inspire young men being left behind by public schools in Charleston, South Carolina.

Listen to Commandant and Founder Col. Nathaniel Green discuss what School Choice means to his school, and the cadets whose lives have been changed there. Even more touching are the unscripted responses of the students themselves.

Col. Green does everything in his power to give these childern the life changing thought process they need. I've watched people come threw be the worst child, never listen, always wants a fight, or just doesn't think of themselve like they should, and leave with a whole new out look on life. Yes, its a last resort, but it works. He makes promises and sometimes he doesn't fullfil them he only prepares these young men for life. I attend the school now and I've never wanted to be in a better place

@armyofone76 Out of so many kids who go there, there may be one or two kids with a success story. Don't try to defend a school unless you go there for yourself. Trust me you will fell differently.

I didnt take the SAT I took the ACT with a score of 26 out of 32. School of choice. A Public school.

@armyofone76 I really don't know what school you went to but let me tell you a little something about this school. Its being ran by a person who I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw him. Time and time again he has made promises to the kids at that school and time and time again he has failed to keep them. The curriculum is so corrupt their that they practically give you the answers to questions and you leave with the only satisfaction that your parents won't ground you because of a bad grade

@tubsboy Lucas I'm really suprises that you would be making false statement about eagle when you were there you like eagle and I'm sure when I speak with you mom she will not be happy with you making these commets. I will see you soon son. Col. Green

@jammastereric You know you really need to get a life. Just becuase you could not make it at eagle a lot of kids have make it you need to admit that its bigger then you.

That why most of the kids that come through eagle go on with there lives and make something of themselves sorry that you have not. The facts are that the lowest sat score eagle has ever had is 1300. I wonder what yours is?

@tubsboy I went there too. Awful School

great video -- those kids are inspiring. I'm glad someone cares enough about them to help them grow up strong.
