Our military Summer School program system for day and boarding students develops leaders of strong character in a fun, family-oriented environment.

For 131 years, Fishburne Military School has been teaching young men how function at their best every single day. We combine our academic, JROTC and athletic programs to develop tangible improvements to grades, character and self-esteem. Our rigorous programs also instill an improved sense of punctuality, accountability, sharing and camaraderie. Our Summer School program was created to provide young men with the opportunity to make incremental improvements in these areas in just five short weeks.

Quite often young men need the opportunity to play “catch-up” with their academic progress. Others would benefit from the chance to get ahead. Many of the students who have enrolled in Summer School also enjoyed our JROTC Summer program. Participating students receive academic credit for LET I or II, depending on their grade level. The program also includes exciting Adventure Training activities like orienteering and rappelling. In fact, Summer School 2010 will include the opportunity to take flying lessons in addition to the chance to play soccer, basketball, football, golf, tennis and/or strength & conditioning training! 

What will Summer School be like for Your Son?

Your son will enjoy Fishburne’s Summer School program and you, the parent, will be pleased with the results.

A typical day’s schedule at Summer School will include morning and early afternoon classes followed by either athletics or JROTC/military training in the afternoon. After dinner, Summer School cadets have supervised study periods where TAC (Training, Advising, & Counseling) Officers will assist in the completion of assigned homework. Cadets enjoy some free time on the weekends when they can play pick-up games, watch movies, go on trips, or go home with parents provided there aren’t any disciplinary issues. Summer School students must successfully complete New Cadet training during the first week before being allowed to leave Fishburne on leave or with a town pass.

Boarding cadets are paired up with a roommate and are required to keep their rooms clean and tidy. All cadets are required to wear a uniform and/or event specific apparel.

Information:

Summer School students have the opportunity to take classes in all major areas of the high school level academic curriculum to include: English, Science, Math, History, Foreign Languages and Computer Science. A Summer School cadet, for example, can take Pre-Algebra & World History.
