What is the National Service Academy?

A tuition-free, mostly on-site academy that produces competent graduates for hard national work. Students receive full support and commit to five years of service after graduation. The academy is built to deliver outcomes—not slogans.

  • Free tuition + support
  • Five-year national service commitment
  • Mostly on-site: labs, clinics, studios
  • Merit + honor + audited outcomes
Straight talk
We pick terrain that can execute. If the location can’t permit, build, and hire at speed, we move on.
Commitment

Years of national service

Model
On-Site

Online supports, not replaces

Accredited Degree

Four-year university programs with the discipline of a service academy and the rigor of serious labs and practicums.

Campus Model: Mostly On-Site

This is not a “virtual academy.” The core is on-site learning: labs, clinics, studios, supervised practicums, small seminars, and a daily cadence. Online is used where it strengthens results: pre-labs, tutoring, guest lectures, drills, and capstone coordination.

  • Residential cadence + standards
  • Labs, clinics, studios, practicums
  • Online: tutoring, drills, pre-labs
  • Capstones tied to real service billets
Cadence
Daily muster + weekly inspections
Academics
Seminars + recitations + labs
Integrity
Honor code + enforcement
Outcomes
Audit, publish, improve
Practical note: we start with one campus and scale only after results prove repeatability.

One campus first
We do not attempt a “50-year, 5-trillion” fantasy build. We start with one executable location and prove results.

Operating principle

Academic freedom in scholarship. Operational discipline in training. No ideology coercion. Results decide.

The Ask

We are seeking a host location that can execute, agency sponsors to fund cohorts and billets, and anchor partners to provide supervised service placements. If your state can move, we can build.
