Cadet Life
While Valley Forge is committed to providing a quality education, there is also
plenty of time for fun! As our current cadets would quickly tell you, life at VFMC
is rarely boring!
Our campus environment is incredibly dynamic, offering a full range of campus
activities, extracurricular organizations, and special events. Our range of cadet
extracurricular activities is unsurpassed by any other military school.
Academic Clubs
Many academic departments feature clubs that allow you to explore your favorite
subjects in greater detail. The clubs plan field trips, guest speakers, and other
activities that bring academic disciplines to life, foster interaction with faculty,
and help you form valuable professional networks.
Religious Life
The Sunday Chapel Service is central to cadet life at VFMA&C. While Christian in format,
the service is nondenominational and features guest speakers who address values and
character development.
In addition to the weekly Sunday morning service on campus, Protestant cadets
may attend an Episcopal Eucharist Service in our Chapel on Wednesdays at noon. For
Catholic cadets, Mass is celebrated in the Chapel on Sunday afternoons at 5 p.m.
Arrangements are also made for Catholic, Muslim and Jewish cadets to observe holy
days at Valley Forge or at an appropriate, nearby location. VFMA&C provides transportation.
The R. Michael Arnovitz chapter of the Jewish fellowship group meets on campus weekly.
A Christian fellowship group, a Catholic fellowship group, a Muslim fellowship group and
a Newman Club for Catholic college cadets also meet regularly.
