Leadership Education is the name of the MCJROTC curriculum because we use the tenants of Marine Corps leadership to teach and develop a sense of responsibility, loyalty, discipline and character in cadets. Throughout the four years of the program, the Leadership Education curriculum is presented by way of five different categories of instruction. Those categories are:
(1.) Leadership (2.) Citizenship (3.) Personal Growth and Responsibility (4.) Public Service and Career Exploration (5.) General Military Subjects |
Cadet ParticipationCadets in the MCJROTC Program will participate in a Leadership Education level as dictated by the number of years in the program the cadet has completed. Naturally, LE-1 is for those students entering the program for the first time, while LE-4 is for the cadets who have successfully completed LE-I through LE-3.

Leadership Education II
The second year continues the leadership and citizenship classes of LE-I. During LE-II the students receive instruction in General Military Subjects with more structure and tradition than in LE-I, as well as the introduction of civilian marksmanship training and land navigation training with the map and compass. This year also provides additional learning experiences in personal growth and responsibility, as well as citizenship.
Leadership education IIIIn LE-III, cadets will begin to use their leadership training as they assume positions of increased authority and responsibility within the program. In this year also, detailed instruction on personal finances is presented, as well as other preparation for life beyond high school.

Leadership education IVLE-4 is a year when cadets really bring together all their previous learning experiences in the MCJROTC program. Senior cadets will conduct formations and inspections, as well as supervise certain training events with younger cadets. LE-4 cadets continue to be challenged academically with requirements for research projects and independent studies and progress reports.

GradingCadets of Marine Corps JROTC will be graded in multiple areas of the program. The academic curriculum portion of the program will be graded very much like other traditional high school classes; a minimum of 3 major (67%) and 5 minor (33%) assignments. At the end of the semester, cadets will take a semester exam. However, as part of their overall MCJROTC grade, cadets will also be observed, evaluated and graded on their leadership performance. Leadership performance will encompass carrying out one’s cadet duties and it will also cover participation in citizenship activities and other MCJROTC activities.
