U.S. Naval Academy Mission
Our mission is "to develop midshipmen morally, mentally and physically and to imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, honor and loyalty in order to provide graduates who are dedicated to a
career of naval service and have potential for future development in mind and character to assume the highest responsibilities of command, citizenship and government." This is a tall order,
but one that we have been successfully fulfilling for over 150 years.Our midshipmen complete a four-year immersion program that educates them not only in the classroom, but also outside the classroom - in their dormitory, aboard sailboats and yard patrol craft, on the athletic fields and during their summers in the fleet. Here at Annapolis, midshipmen cultivate skills that enable them to excel when they reach their first assignments in the fleet.
We also emphasize the importance of building character in all aspects of our program. The Naval Academy offers a unique opportunity where young men and women - from a diversity of races, regions,
socio-economic groups and religions - gather in a special environment to learn and practice ideals that may often seem to be lacking in modern society. The result of this comprehensive process is a
collective group of young leaders potentially more morally, mentally and physically sensitive than any that could be produced in another environment. That is what distinguishes the Naval Academy and
its graduates.Those of us who carry out the mission of the Naval Academy take pride in what we have accomplished, but we always strive to raise the bar of excellence. We must always provide the Naval service with leaders who demonstrate excellence in carrying out all their duties, but who do so with humility - achieving "excellence without arrogance." We stand prepared to show the American people the value of the Naval Academy - the value added by the Naval Academy - to the security, strength, vision and leadership of our nation.
At the Naval Academy, the American people invest in the future of our nation. This is where we sustain the hopes that our nation will continue to live in peace and liberty. This is where we mold young
people who will protect the freedom cherished by past and current generations and all those yet to come. This is where we develop the leaders of tomorrow and cultivate and nurture our core values of
courage, honor and commitment. This is where many of our nation's finest young people make the commitment to serve their country, as so many have before them. This is where we accept responsibility for
shaping a vision of America's future.For more information, please visit their site at http://www.nadn.navy.mil/
