The Leoncio Prado Military Academy (Spanish: Colegio Militar Leoncio Prado) is a Peruvian educational institution founded on 27 August 1943 by President of the Republic Manuel Prado Ugarteche and Secretary of Education Elías La Rosa.[1]

The academy came to worldwide notice as the setting of the novel The Time of the Hero by the Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa. A military-style high school with boarding facilities, it serves as both a military high school and the preparatory school for potential officers of the Peruvian Armed Forces, who make up most of its alumni.
