Description: The Four Class System at the United States Military Academy at West Point is the current four year leadership development program aimed at cultivating both the Fourth Class and the upperclass cadets. The present system evolved from the Fourth Class System which began as a practice of Plebes performing personal services for the upper classes. While much of the system has changed, many of its practices remain remarkably untouched.
