Oakland Military Institute

OMI is a tuition-free charter school that provides a comprehensive college preparatory program for students in grades of 6th through 12th. Our program unites strong academics with military leadership training. Civilians and personnel of the California Military Department work hand in hand as full- time administrators, teachers and staff on our campus. Each student becomes a member of the California Cadet Corps (CACC). This framework forges structure, discipline, and a sense of belonging. Together, we help students develop leadership, citizenship, honor, and values—all essential parts of strengthening their academic achievement and becoming leaders of character.

The mission of the Oakland Military Institute College Preparatory Academy (OMI) is to prepare each of its cadets to qualify for, and succeed in, leading colleges and universities. OMI, through a cadet-led experience, instills honor, integrity and leadership. OMI’s four (4) pillars are ACADEMICS, LEADERSHIP, CITIZENSHIP, and COLLEGE READINESS. The goal of OMI is to graduate cadets who are capable of meeting the admissions requirements for any college in the nation and who are prepared for their roles as future leaders.
