This article examines the effectiveness of the developed target pedagogical program for the military-patriotic education of Suvorov residents of the Moscow Suvorov Military School, which in turn is confirmed by the results of the pedagogical experiment. The analysis of the results shows a stable and progressive increase in the level of formation of military-patriotic qualities in the control and experimental groups, however, the estimated indicators in the experimental groups are much higher. This circumstance allows us to assert the greatest effectiveness of the application of the Target pedagogical program in comparison with the existing plan of educational work of the Moscow Suvorov Military School.
