St. John's Northwestern Military Academy (SJNMA) is a private, Christian college-preparatory military school located in 1101 Genesee Street, Delafield, Wisconsin, United States.

The school traces its roots way back in 1884 when Reverend Sidney T. Smythe founded St. John's Military Academy as a private, all-male college preparatory school in Delafield, Wisconsin, and in 1888 when Harlan Page Davidson founded Northwestern Military Academy in Highland Park, Illinois. Over the years, both schools flourished.
However, by 1970 Northwestern Military Academy faced dwindling enrollment due to the anti-war sentiment of the Vietnam era and in 1994, the school began to seek merger with St. John's Military Academy of Delafield. In 1995, the merger was completed and the school became St. John's Northwestern Military Academy, located at the St. John's 110-acre campus in Delafield.

Though the emphasis has shifted away from the military arts of an earlier day, the discipline, self-confidence, loyalty and camaraderie remain just as strong today. Shaped by each school's strong history, common goals and similar philosophies, the Academy continues its long tradition of education and leadership with honor.
