Dear Families and Friends:
As Commandant, my mission is clear: to scale Maritime to a level of excellence defined by discipline, leadership, and purpose. We take our lessons from the military and from those of us who have proudly served, shaping young men and women into leaders ready to command their own futures. We are Scaling to Excellence, not by chance but by choice. At Western New York Maritime Charter School, we lead with integrity, discipline, and respect. We build leaders who think critically, act decisively, and serve honorably, guided by the proud traditions of military service. At Maritime, excellence is not a slogan, it is a standard. My mission as Commandant is to cultivate leaders of character, purpose, and resilience. Drawing from the lessons of military service, we are Scaling to Excellence together, cadets, educators, and community partners united under one flag of leadership and accountability.
Sincerely,
Dr. Ami Alderman
Commandant
