Advisor \ Mentor Programs Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
It’s been said that a mentor isn’t someone who walks ahead of you to show you how they did it. A mentor walks alongside to show you what you can do. At Fishburne, we not only work hard to see what’s great in you, our mentors and advisors help you see for yourself what’s great in you. Then help you unleash it for the success you always knew you could achieve.

Hired (school-approved) tutors are permitted on campus during this period. Study Hall is monitored by TAC Officers in the barracks and by a faculty member in the library.Preparation of Academic Plan
The preparation of a Cadet’s academic plan is an important matter and deserves a great deal of thought by both the Cadet and his parents. The plan should be designed to include the schedule of courses that must be taken over the specified number of school years and Summer School sessions which will lead to graduation. The academic plan for the new Cadet is based on past performance and consultation with the Cadet and his parents. The scheduling process for a returning Cadet involves meetings with his faculty advisor and review of his schedule by the Academic Dean, and the Cadet’s parents.
