International Students

Global Brotherhood HereBuilt for Belonging

There’s a reason students from across the globe choose Fishburne. No matter where you’re from, this is a place that brings out what’s great in you.
For generations, Fishburne has attracted international students who value a structured, safe environment and the focus that comes with it. They thrive in our small classes, where individual attention is the norm, not the exception. And just as important, they are supported by educators who understand the academic, cultural, and personal challenges international students face and who work with care and patience to ensure every Cadet’s experience here is meaningful and rewarding.

Global. Grounded. Fishburne. International Students Thrive

At Fishburne, international students do more than study abroad. They become part of a close-knit community built on structure, respect, and shared purpose. From full language immersion to small classes and personalized guidance, every element of the Fishburne experience is designed to help young men feel confident, supported, and ready for what comes next.

List of 5 items.

  • Classes that prepare cadets for university admission

    We help each cadet (and their family) gain a clear understanding of his abilities and interests. Equipped with information on educational opportunities and this self-knowledge, we assist each cadet in finding those schools that make strong matches for his talents. Careful attention is paid to making wise decisions and meeting deadlines.

  • English language immersion

    Fishburne offers English language immersion both in and outside the classroom which will satisfy TOEFL/IELTS university requirements.
    TOEFL
    Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), a test that evaluates the ability of an individual to use and understand English in an academic setting.
    IELTS
    The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is designed to help you work, study or migrate to a country where English is the native language. This includes countries such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and USA. Your ability to listen, read, write and speak in English will be assessed during the test.

  • Sports opportunities for all cadets

    Our young men have 13 sports from which to choose… and while winning is important, we’re just as focused on emphasizing confidence, pride, playing smart, working together and, of course, having some fun out there.

  • All in on whatever future fits your son

    Fishburne does an amazing job of preparing our cadets for college. (That’s why we have a 100% college acceptance rate.) But not every cadet wants to be college bound—so we’re ready to get your son wherever he sees himself thriving. If it’s Military Academy, our JROTC program is the best way to get a leg up. If it’s trade school, we know the best path to get there too. Like we say, we see what’s great in your son, then we help the world see it too.

The Next Step Apply With Confidence

Choosing a school far from home is never a small decision. It takes courage, trust, and the belief that the place you choose will see you fully, not just as a student, but as a young man finding his way. At Fishburne, international Cadets are never asked to fit a mold that was made for someone else. Instead, they are welcomed into a community built on structure, respect, and purpose, where differences are valued and effort is recognized. 

In small classes and a close campus community, international students find their footing quickly. They learn to speak up, step forward, and take pride in who they are becoming. Over time, they leave not only with strong English skills and a respected American diploma, but with discipline, self-belief, and friendships that cross borders and last well beyond graduation.

And getting started is easier than ever.

Our application process is fast, personal, and straightforward, with quicker feedback and clear next steps. We know waiting can be the hardest part, so we do not keep families in limbo. At Fishburne, you will hear back promptly, because your time and your future matter.
