What sets Fishburne apart from other military boarding schools is the fact that FMS is the perfect size to offer all of our boys a tremendous amount of individual attention and mentoring both inside and outside the classroom. Public school systems repeatedly fail to provide the attention needed to capitalize on the strengths and unique learning patters of each child. Fishburne is an academic institution that enjoys an
exceptionally small student-to-faculty ratio (6:1). True to Professor
Fishburne’s vision of more than a century ago, we remain small and
nurturing by choice.
The Fishburne experience is very family oriented and inclusive. Those cadets who want to play sports can participate at the varsity level. Cadets make life-long friends at FMS. Our perfectly sized environment leads to a strong comradery amongst the corps of cadets, and direct access to the teachers, coaches, and advisors who function as mentors.
Leadership for Life is not just a slogan at Fishburne; it’s a core value exemplified by our alumni who are leaders in their respective communities around the world. We’re also a 131 year-old all-male boarding school that operates in a military setting. Honor, duty and respect for tradition and authority are virtues we live by on a daily basis.
For the last six years 100% of our graduates have been accepted at colleges and universities. While many of our recent alumni have gone on to prestigious colleges and universities, our teachers and advisors find the right college or university for your son based on his goals and abilities.
We invite you to call or fill out a short inquiry form to see if Fishburne is a good fit for your son– and vice versa. We also invite you and your son to campus for a personal tour of our facilities. It’s a great opportunity to see Fishburne “up close and personal” and meet some of our dedicated faculty and staff. The vast majority of parents and their sons who visit Fishburne choose FMS over all other schools or academies.
We look forward to speaking with you soon.
Sincerely,
The FMS Admissions Team
