    The Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS) is located on Naval Station Newport in historic Newport, Rhode Island. NAPS is the Navy's fourth oldest school; only the Naval Academy, Naval War College, and Naval Post Graduate School are older.
    The mission of the Naval Academy Preparatory School is to enhance Candidates’ moral, mental, and physical foundations to prepare them for success at the United States Naval Academy. The ten-month course of instruction at NAPS, lasting from August through May, emphasizes preparation in English Composition, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Learning Skills and Information Technology.
    Demanding military, physical and character development programs complement the academic preparation to fully prepare students for the challenges at the Naval Academy. As part of the physical development program, NAPS offers a varsity athletic program that competes against other preparatory schools, junior colleges and college junior varsity teams.
