Wentworth Military Academy and College is a private four-year college preparatory high school and military junior college. It is located in Lexington, Missouri, part of the Greater Kansas City Metropolitan Area. Wentworth is the oldest military academy west of the Mississippi River, and the campus is on the National Register of Historic Places. Although the college programs are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, they were placed on probation in late 2015 "because of concerns related to integrity regarding the College's finances and resources to support its academic programs and operations." Wentworth is one of five military junior colleges in the United States.
