Admissions

How to Apply

Let's get to know each other.

The Fishburne Admissions process is designed to help us get to know your son better, while helping you learn more about Fishburne. For starters, we accept new middle school students in grades 6, 7, or 8, as well as high school grades 9-12. Transfer students are admitted into the upper grades if space is available.

It’s also important to understand that we’re looking for boys who not only meet our standards for admission but—and this is essential—truly want to attend Fishburne. While we have a gift for seeing what’s great in boys, we can only truly succeed with boys who have a desire to be here and bring their best to the experience.

List of 4 items.

  • Inquire

    Interested in learning more about Fishburne for your son? Please submit an admission inquiry form and your assigned admission counselor will reach out via email to schedule an introductory phone call to learn more about your son, answer your questions, and provide a copy of Fishburne’s Viewbook.
  • Apply

    Once the phone call with your assigned admission counselor has been completed, the next step is to submit your application materials. Fishburne requires:
    • An application
    • Current grades along with the previous two years of grades (example: applying for 9th grade entry, please provide current 8th grades along with final 7th & 6th grades)
    • Copies of academic records that include 504/IEP plans and discipline records (if applicable)
    • If applying for financial aid, please provide a copy of your latest 1040 tax document as well.
  • Admission Interview

    Once your application materials have been submitted and your admission file is complete, your assigned admission counselor will review and reach out to schedule an interview. This can be done either in-person or virtually.
  • Admission Decision

    Now that you have completed the admission steps, your application to Fishburne Military School is complete and ready-for-review. The Fishburne Admission Committee will review your application, and you will hear an admission decision directly from your admission counselor within 5 business days. You will then have time to discuss as a family if you would like to accept your son’s offer of admission to Fishburne or have any further questions.
    • Visit our beautiful and historic campus anytime. You can schedule a campus visit at any point throughout your admission process.
