We sent our son to FUMA because he was struggling in public school. He was failing most of his classes and spent all of his free time playing video games. The changes we have seen since his time at... See more

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.

Fork Union Military Academy--Fantastic!

We love everything about this amazing School. Over a decade ago, our youngest son attended for just two years. It changed his life! It helped our family in so many ways. We are in debt to FUMA forever. This place...a Christian Military Academy Prep-School... is one place that will help our country to produce real servant leaders to keep America strong. Thank you, FUMA!!

Best Institution for educating young men

Fork Union Military Academy provided me not only an excellent education preparing me for college but life after school. I came away with confidence in myself and a knowledge I could face anything thrown my way. I learned leadership skills which put me ahead of my peers in the workforce. Any parent considering a private education for their son must put Fork Union Military Academy on the list of schools to visit.

Excellent school for teenage boys

Small class sizes, dedicated teachers & staff, discipline in a academically rigorous environment, good sports teams, a lot of extracurricular activities in a safe, Christian, military setting. FUMA does what it says and says what it does.

The Answer for High School Boys

Fork Union Military Academy provides an environment for adolescent males to thrive. The faculty, structure, academic rigor and athletics combine for an amazing program for college preparation for their students. The military structure is a platform where expectations are equal for all students. Many of life's lessons are learned through the team work in the battalions, chapel services, dorm life and the challenges in the classroom. Fork Union is an amazing place for boys to grow, learn and become true gentlemen and scholars.

Quality values, leadership and instruction

Fork Union has been a fantastic experience for our son. The opportunities to excel and grow as a leader are abundant. My husband and I have only positive things to say about the caring administration and professional staff at Fork Union Military Academy. We would never trust any school but FUMA to our son.

Wonderful Experience

Fork Union Military Academy is an exemplary Christian College Preparatory institution; the best in the country. The embodiment of Mind, Body and Spirit and a commitment to academic excellence make FUMA the ideal place to send a young man. So many of our alumni have gone on to accomplish great things for our country, in their careers and most importantly, in their communities. Surely each would say the impact FUMA had on them played a major role in their success today.

Second To None

For well over a century, Fork Union Military Academy has positively impacted an extraordinary number of lives. I am perennially impressed with the achievements of my peers, the caliber of the academic institutions that accept FUMA graduates, and the ways in which the academy is constantly seeking to improve itself. Both the academic and moral training at Fork Union are second to none, and the changed lives of the cadets are the evidence of the effectiveness of FUMA's faculty and staff.
