Marine Military Academy, located in Harlingen, Texas, offers a private college preparatory curriculum for boys in grades 8-12, and one-year post-graduate study. The school was founded in 1965. Its traditions and ideals are inspired by the United States Marine Corps.

The school also offers summer programs including a four-week military boot camp for boys 13-17, as well as ESL classes for foreign students.

The academy is situated on a former US Air Force base and utilizes many of the original barracks and administrative buildings. The runways are currently used by the Harlingen International Airport.

Since 1982 the Academy has hosted the original plaster working model of the USMC War Memorial. The Academy is also the final resting place of Corporal Harlon Block, one of the Marines immortalized in the famous photo of the flag-raising on Iwo Jima on which the sculpture is based.
