CLEVELAND PROGRAM: what is it all about? The CLEVELAND PROGRAM is a student created leadership program that has the goals of developing sn enviroment around the school that is full of HONOR, RESPECT, COMMITMENT, and ESPRIT DE CORPS (PRIDE).

Tabor Academy was designated as a Naval Honor School in 1941 by Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, in accordance with Congressional legislation enacted in 1937 to encourage the teaching of naval subjects at the secondary level, and to generate interest at that level in the nation’s military academies, BUT despite its title of being a "NAVAL HONOR SCHOOL", there is a certain lack of pride, honor, commitment, respect, and leadership, which one would expect from a school that carries such a title. This is why the current CLEVELAND PROGRAM has been created.

The CLEVELAND PROGRAM is adapted from other leadership programs such as NJROTC and the Civil Air Patrol (CAP). The name CLEVELAND PROGRAM comes from a simmular leadership program that Tabor offered in the summer of 1921. This program was called camp cleveland.
