"FUMA has a record of child sexual abuse…"

FUMA has a record of child sexual abuse and covering it up.....do not send your child to this school until you research this fact.

"Go FUMA!!!!"

This school has been an answer to prayers. Our Grandson has ADHD and two years ago lost his Dad in a tragic accident. He retreated to computer games and refused to even try in his school classes. From the beginning, the staff at FUMA have worked to address his issues in kind and sensitive ways. His teachers have been caring and excellent in their subject matter! Col. Coggins has shown to be an able leader and bold in his Christian witness. I highly recommend Fork Union Military Academy!!

"College Guidance NOT a strong suit"

The good is they did a great job with my son from a leaership standpoint but that does not outweigh FUMA's utter failure to guide him through the college application process. That falls under the academic department which has some good teachers but not good leadership. College guidance was trimmed to a part time position and that effected my son greatly. No accountability either. Upper classmen beware. They failed my son miserably.

"Horrible decision"

I sent my son to FUMA after I caught him smoking and vaping a juul. He got back after a year and when I tell you he was a different person, I MEAN IT.He came back and all he would do was smoke weed! He told me this school was very uncomfortable and some very odd experiences happened. This was the worst mistake of my life! Too expensive and a waste of money

"Don't send your son here!!!"

Our son was at FUMA for 2-1/2 years. He was Cadet of the Year once, and Cadet of the Term four times. He was on the President's List (Straight As) and in the National Honor Society. He never liked the school. I thought is was a good experience for him, until I raised safety concerns with President Coggins. His reply? I have an attitude and I need to find a new school for my son. Are you serious? So he kicked out one of the best students in the entire school, and a family who always paid in advance. What a waste of money to send our son here. This Coggins character is a complete fool. He will accept your money with a smile, then never wants to speak to you again. The one subject plan does not prepare kids for college, as that isn't the way colleges operate. The school doesn't teach kids independence and doesn't prepare kids for school. It's a terrible place to send your son. A public school is a much better option. And Coggins doesn't know what he is doing to kids and their families. Good teachers, terrible administration! You have many more options than this place. Do not trust your son in a school run by President Coggins!!

"Why attending FUMA is worth it"

Fork Union Military Academy was the best decision we have made as parents. It is not easy, very challenging at times, but we have not regrets, only gratitude...Our boys did not like it at first, but once they got involved in school, sports and clubs they thrived. The quality of the academic programs, faculty and support is outstanding . My oldest son attends the Naval Academy and my youngest who is currently a senior will be attending next year. This would not be possible without Fork Union. Go FUMA!!

"A school that saved my life"

Am 78 years old and went to the middle school for five years before my father deserted me and my mother. This school save my life. I did not learn to read until I got in the 7th grade because I'm a dyslexic. And I had learning disabilities. This school gave me the tools for life number one respect for others. Then I got respect for myself. As I look back at my life if it hadn't been for Fork Union Military Academy I would have never made it through life. They are still doing things the same way. To take boys and make fine Christian Young man out of them. My personal relationship with Jesus Christ stems from this school and helps guide and direct my life everyday. I would recommend this school to anyone.

"I have tried to find something wrong …"

I have tried to find something wrong with this school these past 3 years and can not. It's staff is a dedicated bunch of educators, low turn over rates. Small classroom sizes, beautiful campus, they teach these young men about accountability. Has a 100% college acceptance rate, great college prep school.

"What a difference this experience has …"

What a difference this experience has made. My son has excelled academically, physically, spiritually, and most importantly in his self-confidence, which I did not even realize was lacking. Best decision I ever made, he's looking forward to returning for 8th grade next year!

"We have never regretted our decision to …"

We have never regretted our decision to send our son to FUMA. Is it easy, no. It does take adjusting to and conforming to the system makes it much easier. However, the structure and one subject plan (along with small class size) make success very likely for all who apply themselves. Our son changed his academic performance in this environment, and ensured his acceptance to the colleges of his choice. That was not going to happen at his very well regarded public high school. I'd like more proactive communication from the school on events, etc., but they have always been responsive to my inquiries and questions. I also recommend the summer sessions. If entering FUMA, it provides a nice step into the system. It also helps with study skills and raising a GPA. FUMA is really a terrific school and does a tremendous job educating young men. I recommend it without any reservations.
