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.
The academy came to worldwide notice as the setting of the novel The Time of the Hero by the Peruvian writer and Nobel laureate 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.
