"Student develop a sense of self worth …"

Student develop a sense of self worth at the expense of those labeled inadequate. Its an 8 to 1 ratio. Dont be bait.

"A Fine Institution"

Although my son came to FUMA a great student athlete, ranked very highly in his class at his previous school, his exposure to the leadership culture and training at Fork Union have set him on a course that we as parents could only have imagined prior to his enrollment. Also, the One Subject Plan has allowed him to really absorb and assimilate the material in a manner that ensures retention. Highly recommend.

"FUMA is exactly what our son needed"

We never expected to send our son to a boarding school, but any sacrifice on our part has been worth it. FUMA has matured him far more than had he gone to our local high school. Countless extracurricular opportunities and an incredibly dedicated faculty and staff leave no reason for a boy to not be engaged, active, and trying new things.
Academically, the one-subject plan - backed by some very competent instructors - simply works. He has received a fantastic education.

Our single biggest disappointment of the FUMA experience is the grade-level company structure. This deprives new students of the means to learn to be good followers while observing and learning from more experienced cadets. More could be done in the area of directly teaching leadership skills. A required firsr-year course in basic military courtesy, respect, and leadership could go a long way.

Our son graduates this year, but if we had to do it al over again, we would absolutely and without reservation send him to Fork Union. The school continuously strives to be a better institution and it shows. The men and women who run the school truly care about the young men in their charge. Our son is a different person than when he started, so we sincerely thank every individual who took part in that transformation.

"Four good years!"

Going to Fork Union was our son's decision. He has done very well with the one subject plan and school structure. The past four years are paying off….college acceptances are rolling in!

"FUMA changed the direction of my son's life, enabling him to succeed"

My son learned balance, discipline, persistence, camaraderie, leadership, and respect. Role Models such as Sidwell + Sidwell, Pavlansky, Grant, Sullivan, + Hurlocker were instrumental in providing support and guidance. There are many more who were important, however too many to mention here. FUMA leaders looked to the future and provided my son with the curriculum he needed to graduate and be prepared for college. I teasingly called FUMA, "The Prison in the Middle of Nowhere" because it wasn't easy to have my son away from home. In retrospect even though I missed him tremendously, FUMA was the best thing that could have happened to my son.

"Prepares Boys to become Men"

After spending some of my youth attending FUMA, and now recalling my experiences some time later, I can say with unwavering certainty that there is no better place for a young man to go to learn how to become a better contributing person in society. Fork Union trained me, and many other of my compatriots, to be honorable and upstanding members of our community by instilling basic, but often overlooked, morals and ethics in us.
I can also say with relative certainty that I would not be where I am, in life, today without the lessons learned at Fork Union Military Academy.

"I wish every young man could attent Fork Union Military Academy!"

My son is currently a cadet at FUMA. My children have gone to a couple of private schools over the years, and I have never seen a school more true to its mission than FUMA. The leadership of the school truly lives out the mission statement of faith, character, respect, integrity, and discipline on a daily basis. I see, in my son, a desire to live out these values in his own life. Fork Union is teaching him the discipline he needs to live out his life goals. I am a huge fan of Fork Union Military Academy. Sending our son there is one of the best decisions we have ever made. It is a true investment in him and his future success in life.

"FUMA Class of 1977"

It's hard to put to words how much this school still means to me after 39 years. I went there to play basketball, bring my grades up and get ready for college, but I came out with so much more. FUMA teaches you those core values that carry you through life. I sent Son #1 there and will be sending Son #2 there as well (he's really looking forward to it). I've lost touch with many of my college friends but I stay in touch with my FUMA brothers all the time. The school has a heart and soul that lives on because of the quality of the staff there and the true commitment to values that they always exhibit. I highly recommend this fine school.

"life changing experience"

The friends made and lessons learned at FUMA provided the foundation for the success in life i have experienced. I couldn't have imagined a better experience. - Class of 95.

"Great school for today's young men!"

Fork Union Military Academy provides that academic challenge, along with leadership opportunities for young men in today's fast-paced high tech world. I've seen my son mature into a responsible young man, placing a renewed focus on his academics. FUMA also provides a healthy mix of sports, additional duties, extracurricular activities and schoolwork which serves to only improve time management skills in today's youth.
