*************

The Duke of York’s Royal Military School provides co-educational admission to pupils whose parents are serving or have served in any branch of the armed services at any rank. The school is an executive agency of the Ministry of Defence.

The Duke of York’s Royal Military School was founded in 1803 by Prince Frederick Augustus, Duke of York and Albany, son of King George III and Queen Charlotte and Commander-in-Chief of the British Army. The school was originally named the Royal Military Asylum and located at Chelsea, London. In 1892 the RMA was renamed The Duke of York's Royal Military School and, in 1909, moved to new premises constructed on the cliffs of Dover, Kent, United Kingdom. The RMA was founded as an establishment to deal with many orphans of the armed forces during the years 1793-1815 from during conflict between Britain and Revolutionary France. The RMA was modeled on the Royal Hibernian Military School (1765-1924) with which it merged in 1924, and based on a monitorial system of education.
