Adjusting their mission in recent years, Milford Academy has now targeted the needs of high school senior as well as post-graduate student-athletes who require additional educational guidance while receiving athletic training to play at the next level.

These students, in general, are gifted and talented football players who have the opportunity to attain four-year athletic scholarships at major universities of all different levels throughout the country.

Over the past ten years, the Milford Academy has developed a rewarding program as the student-athletes meet both their educational and athletic goals.
