We See What Others Can’t
So you’ll do things you’ve never done.
Because of our size (we’re proudly Virginia’s smallest military school) and our commitment to every cadet, you can’t hide here. You can’t
BS your ways through things. And you can’t slip under the radar. So
you’ll leave here knowing yourself better, liking yourself more, and
prepared to excel at whatever you choose to do
Smaller classes. Bigger success.
When academics matter, you learn more than facts.
While too many schools teach to the test, we prepare you for the biggest test of all: Your life. Not only will our small classes make sure you acquire the knowledge you need for the future you want. But our hyper-personalized teaching will also help you discover your strengths, get a glimpse of your dreams and move forward with confidence.
Our JROTC Honor Unit With Distinction opens more doors.
We have a direct line to the Service Academies.
Only a handful of military schools offer a JROTC Honor Unit with Distinction. But Fishburne is proud to be one of them. That means we’re one of the few military schools in America that can nominate select cadets directly to the United States Service Academies. And that means this is your best choice if your goal is attending a Service Academy.

More feedback from instructors results in a better, more effective learning experience.
There is more incentive to pay attention and become involved in a small class, because it is obvious when they don’t.

US Army's highest level of accreditation maintained for over 40 years.
Fishburne has earned the US Army’s highest level of accreditation and is designated as a JROTC Honor Unit with Distinction, which makes us one of the few school that can nominate qualified candidates directly to the United States Service Academies.
We also host one of only four Summer JROTC programs in the nation, accredited by US Army Cadet Command.

100%
We have a 100% college acceptance rate of the Cadets who apply to college.

An opportunity school.
We pride ourselves by offering an individualized style of learning and education for each Cadet.
Fishburne wants to help you build a skillset that will prepare you for the future you desire. Just because we are a Military school doesn’t mean our graduates always join the Military. From partnership programs, to taking college classes, or getting extra tutoring on classes that may be more challenging, our faculty and staff are here for you.
See what’s great in us.
It takes a different kind of school to make a difference in your life.

Small Town Vibe
A school community that is the right fit
Our size works well for the Cadets, their families, and us. The campus is informal and its physical space and small town location are a point of difference with other much larger schools that are located in sparse rural areas.

Technology/Academics/Study
Every Cadet receives a Google Chromebook
On their first day at Fishburne, Cadets will each be issued a Chromebook to complete homework, communicate with teachers, and study. We provide technology and academic platforms to help prepare our Cadets for success.
