Local Open Houses


Attending a VMI local open house is a chance to get a feel for the Institute, meet cadets and staff, and ask questions about life at Virginia Military Institute.

Learn More About VMI

If you are unable to plan a trip to Lexington for a VMI open house but would still like to hear from cadets and staff about the Institute, you can now register for VMI’s local open houses. Local open house events provide an opportunity for high school seniors and juniors to learn more about VMI firsthand. They will have the opportunity to speak with VMI staff, current cadets, and local alumni. Plenty of time is provided for parents and prospective cadets to ask questions in a one-on-one setting.
