你看。We do the same。Maybe your son just needs a fresh start。Or a place away from the pressures of high school factions, mixed-gender classrooms or inattentive teachers。Maybe he just needs a school where he can focus on his studies without the distractions of public school。Choosing Fishburne is not about "sending him to military prep school in Virginia" or making a comment about your parenting style。It's about giving him all the possibilities that are embedded in our tradition of fairness, structure, and hard work。Friendship, encouragement and support will stay with him for a lifetime。
Perhaps his talent is already on full display。He decided that a military-style boarding school with a JROTC honor unit was the best way to help him achieve his ambitious military academy or career goals。
Maybe his talent isn't so obvious。Our small class sizes, one-on-one attention, brotherhood and the ongoing support he has received at Fishburn will help showcase those gifts。
Not everyone takes a smooth path。If he is a boy who needs structure, routine and discipline, Fishburne can provide him with boundaries and role models to help keep your student on track both personally and academically。
Public school is so stressful, it's hard to be a boy。At Fishburn, your son will find a level playing field where fair standards and uniformity apply to everyone so he can focus on his studies and personal growth。
"This is not a second chance school。This is a different school of opportunity。”

Fishburne is perfect for talented boys whose talents have not yet been discovered。
When we see the good in a boy, he soon sees the good in himself。Ultimately, that's probably the most important thing he's learned here。Because of our size, our unique perspective on using the military model and our inclusive environment, Fishburne is the perfect place for boys to discover their best selves。
Changing a boy's self-image, and ultimately his future self, takes more than small class sizes and a history of success。
At Fishburne there’s a mindset and a mission to elevate every boy. That’s why our youngest cadets are just as revered as our upperclassmen. That’s why every boy will play any sport he wants (8th graders can play varsity sports). It’s why we’re open to whatever future your son imagines, even if it’s untraditional. It’s why we prize creativity, innovation and openness.
"We see the good in you."What does it mean for every mom and dad。
Here, your son can grow up to be the best version of himself
In a world where too many boys - especially those trapped in the invisible middle - are ignored, misunderstood or bored, Fishburne is the ideal place for your son to grow into his best self。
Boys who had once felt invisible suddenly discovered their passion
Thanks to our size (we are proudly the smallest military academy in Virginia), our structure (we are a military academy, after all), and our commitment to every boy who comes here (it's our commitment).，Boys who had once felt invisible and misunderstood suddenly discovered their passion，Their focus and their strengths。It's changing lives。
The boy can't hide here
We saw them, and just as importantly, so did their mentees - which led to a completely different kind of peer pressure than they feel now。They were encouraged in ways they had never been before。
No one knows your son better than you, but we will try
When the boy feels seen, it's a transformational experience - the transformation that you and your son always knew could happen, you just didn't know where。So far。
The promise we will make to your son (and to you)。
The world puts heavy pressure on some young people: too much noise, no fit, clothes, hair or friends。The mold feels like it was made for someone other than you。When you fit, you will be seen。When you don't, you're invisible。If you can't adjust it, it's hard to make a choice, let alone the right one。It's hard to burn when no one has time to look and see。But we saw you。
We see you in ways that others don't or won't。We saw what you could do。Your leader, your brother。We see a better student in you。Resilient you。
You'll always be invisible here。Because we've met thousands of boys, our mission is to create a world of order, where the noise is quiet, fair, staring, and you have a chance to be seen every day, by everyone here。
We know you're a good man。A kind of honor and kindness。Someone worth striving for -- because that's our role model。We're Fishburne。We see the good in you。
