Fork Union Military Academy

“I'm proud of the fact that the cadet's life has prepared my son for college, independent life and more diversity. He has met people from all over the world, his sense of knowledge has been broadened, I believe he has matured and has grown up to be a little more well rounded. He was also able to choose all the sports he love. Thanks for opening his eyes to MORE that life has to offer.”

“We were uncertain what to do with the pandemic for our son’s education. We found FUMA and never looked back. Not only did our son get a first rate education but he developed an incredible sense of confidence, discipline and empathy toward others. Our boy is growing into a man it was the best decision we ever made.”

“We are incredibly happy and grateful for the education and life skills that our son is receiving at FUMA. Fork Union is a school that understands boys and what they need to thrive.”

“My son currently has the best grades he’s ever had in school but more importantly, he understands the content because he can be more focused with the smaller class sizes.”

“Our son chose FUMA after touring several local private schools. Making a change from public to private school was something that we knew our son wanted and needed but I truly did not fully understand how much he would thrive at Fork Union.”

“I am so appreciative of the help and individual attention my son received while a cadet at Fork Union Military Academy. Teaching and mentoring young men in the 21st century is a vitally important mission field and I am so happy we found a private school…and a Christian school…like Fork Union to help prepare our son for college. Please know that we continue to pray for you and the work you do.”

“Well, our boys have thrived at Fork Union. They are getting a great college prep education in one of the nation's best boarding schools.. And the life lessons they are learning at Fork Union Military Academy will serve them well for years to come.”

“When he shared his ambitions with me regarding the grades and rank he wanted to attain, I, for the first time, saw a very real sense of purpose in him. Now, not only does my son fit in, but he feels he truly belongs.”

“My son now tells everyone how much he loves Fork Union Military Academy.”

“Young men at Fork Union are actually freed from the pressures of peers and a culture often in conflict with what's right and productive. Cadets at Fork Union Military Academy are provided the opportunity to develop the habits that lead to success.”

“Young men from all over the world are placed in an environment that at first appears a bit restrictive, but it turns out to be a liberating experience, which not at all what we expected when we first thought about military school.”

“Fork Union Military Academy is not a place where you want to be but a place you want to be from. As a parent, we strive to afford and provide every opportunity we can for our children to succeed in life. We do our very best to guide and advise them, and we need the partners in place to make that happen. And that is what FUMA is: a PARTNER in our son’s future. FUMA offers the environment for our son to learn, develop and enhance his natural born skillsets on a firm Christian foundation.”

“Our son, is a new kid. He now has goals, drive and is envisioning a future for himself. A year ago at his old school, none of these qualities were present. We really thought we were going to lose him in and didn't know how to help. Something has turned around for him in the last few months and I must give credit where credit is due - Fork Union. Many of the things I hoped your school could do for him are really happening.”

“The daily “How was your day?” question became one of the highlights of my day. My son enjoyed school for the first time in a long time and was thriving academically, socially, spiritually and athletically. In the evenings, on the ride home from school, he would share story after story about his daily interactions with cadets, teachers, coaches, teammates and his TAC Officer.”

“I work everyday with students in a public elementary school. I know that the daily grind of dealing with their work, their personalities and their problems is a difficult one.”

“I had so many questions. How could we afford to send two boys to Fork Union? How could I let our babies live away from home at a boarding school before they were old enough for college? Would our sons do well in a military school environment?”

“I had struggled all of my son's school years trying to find an environment that would motivate him and where he felt that he fit in. Then my friend asked if I had looked at any of the boys military schools.”

“Our lives changed the day we dropped off our little boy as a boarding student. He matured immensely overnight and today he is a Cadet 2LT, Platoon Commander for 3rd Platoon, Bravo Company, and a member of the Retan Rifles. We are truly blessed to be a part of the FUMA family and can’t imagine Chaz being anywhere else.”
