About

Southeastern Military Academy is a military-style boarding school in Port St. Lucie, Florida. It has also operated under the name Victory Forge Military Academy and has been described in public records and news coverage as a year-round program for adolescent boys.

The school traces its public history through Victory Forge Military Academy, Treasure Coast Victory Children's Home, and Southeastern Military Academy. A 2013 Courthouse News Service report on a Florida Department of Children and Families lawsuit said the state treated Southeastern Military Academy and Treasure Coast Victory Children's Home as alter egos of Victory Forge at the same Port St. Lucie location.

Public descriptions of the program emphasized military-style behavior modification for boys under 18. The school drew sustained scrutiny from Florida child-welfare officials and local media over physical discipline, restraints, and whether the facility was operating with required licensing or accreditation.
