January 17–18, 1929 destroyed the original single-building campus, the former Devon Park Hotel, the academy was moved to its present site in Wayne, Pennsylvania, the former Saint Luke's School. The highest decoration in the institution, the Order of Anthony Wayne, was made in tribute to the heroism of the first Corps of Cadets on the night that the first campus burned down. Initially, General Baker devised an American Revolutionary War motif for the school. The school colors are buff and blue, the colors of the uniforms of the Continental Army. The buildings in the Wayne campus were named for Revolutionary War leaders. At the same time, the academy modeled uniforms, crest, Alma Mater, and rank structure on those of the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. During the 1935–1936 school year, Baker expanded the academy to include a two-year college program, with the first college cadets joining the corps that year. Subsequently, the school was known as Valley Forge Military Academy and Junior College. It is known as "Valley Forge Military Academy and College". In the late 1940s to 1950s, Baker, an Anglophile, began changing the concept and modeled many of the school's drills, customs, and ceremonies after a British motif. The Full Dress Uniforms are modeled from the British Army, while others are ostensibly West Point and British hybrids. The corps expanded to include artillery (formerly machine guns) in the late 1930s. The school was granted military junior college status by the Department of Defense sometime between the 1940s and the 1960s. Baker retired as superintendent in 1971 and died at his home on July 31, 1976, at 80. The 1981 film Taps was filmed at the school. It began admitting female students in its junior college in 2005. Abuse Allegations In April 2019, a former Cadet sued Valley Forge Military Academy for abuse and extreme negligence from the school administration. On February 27, 2017, three juveniles were charged with assault in which they allegedly beat another cadet with a lacrosse stick in a hazing ritual called "Toothpasting". Former Title IX coordinator Robert Wood, revealed in a Title IX complaint about numerous incidents that have occurred at the school including hazing, sexual abuse, rape, assault from alumni, racism, antisemitism, and gross negligence from the school to take action against the cadets in question.
