Though the age for most military schools is 12 or 13, some may accept a younger child of 10. That’s the exception though by far. If you think about it though that’s probably the right age where a child will be a bit more mature and be able to handle the military way of life. When children are only 10 years old, they are often too sensitive to take to the discipline that’s required of those who attend military schools.
I personally wouldn’t send my child to military school until they were a little older. I have my eye on a good military school for boys that I might send my childred to if they struggle to learn how to be a productive citizen. I personally hope that this doesn’t happen but I’m trying to be open to the fact that I might need help at some point.
