Kemper Military School & College was a private military school located in Boonville, Missouri. Founded in 1844, Kemper filed for bankruptcy and closed in 2002. The school's motto was "Nunquam Non Paratus" (Never Not Prepared).

The 46-acre campus played a key role in Boonville's identity as a popular 19th-century Missouri river town. Boonville has more than 400 antebellum and other architectural sites on the National Register of Historic Places, including Kemper. Its core historic buildings are included in Historic District A.[1][2][3]: 5–7  38°58′17″N 92°44′49″W / 38.97141702°N 92.74689317°W / 38.97141702; -92.74689317
