Review for Fork Union Military Academy, Fork Union, VA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Fork Union Military Academy(FUMA).

Class of '82. As a student, was dying to go to boarding school. Mom went to German boarding scool in the '50s (dad stationed in Germany) Dad went to Naval Academy. Grandparents lived across the street.
When the need arrived, FUMA was the choice. 3 1/2 hrs away from home.
Overall a very good sports oriented college prep school. 2 heisman trophy winners have attended Fuma. Lots of military people like myself have used FUMA as a springboard to be in the Military.
No girls at the school which helps teenage boys be focused on school and sports.
Military focus of rank, marching, inspections, demerts, helps keep the teenagers inline. Tedious and not always fun helps with future life of yes ma'am-yes sir.
Baptist school with religious service.
Body, Mind, and Spirit is the school motto. Which the school strives to meet.
Because of good grades had the option of going to public school in Maryland. A top 50 school in America for my Senior year. Choose to go back to FUMA for friends sports and one subject learning. 1 course for 8 weeks with one elective and Bible study. Then on to the next course and elective for 8 weeks.
My personal motto even though I wanted to be at FUMA was "Hate it while you are there, love it when you leave! Hope this helps.
