Fork Union Military Academy offers an outstanding summer school and summer camp experience in Virginia. Our summer school program combines academic study, leadership development, athletic activities, and fun for an unforgettable summer.
Fork Union's Summer School provides two back-to-back 2-week summer terms, or one 4-week term, offering rigorous academic instruction, a chance to catch up or get ahead in a specific class, and a chance to experience the Academy before committing to an entire school year. Students also enjoy a wide range of athletic and recreational activities on one of Virginia's most beautiful school campuses.
Whether the student is taking a repeat class or a new course, he will be in one class with one teacher the entire class day during each term.
We offer live, in-person instruction. Online courses may offer more affordable prices, but do not present the same value, especially where a student is doing summer school to improve their grade. They need the extra help, the ability to ask questions and have the teacher be able to look the student in the eye to see if the student is not keeping up.
For young men, the opportunity to be away from home presents a tremendous opportunity for personal growth and maturity.
The process for applying to Summer School is the same as it is for admission to the regular academic year.
If you have already submitted an application for Fall enrollment, please contact the Admissions Office to request that your application be considered for Summer School.
You do not have to complete a separate application for Summer School enrollment if one is already on file for the regular academic year.
As part of the application process, in addition to a campus visit and interview, you will be asked to submit the following:
Once all application materials are received by the Academy, the Admissions Office will notify the applicant of the acceptance decision.
All enrolling students must have a physical examination prior to reporting and a record of all immunizations required by the Virginia State Health Department.
All courses are offered subject to enrollment numbers. Additional courses may be added if there are sufficient numbers of students needing those courses. Courses for which there is a low demand may not be offered in a specific year. Some courses may fill early and not be available to later enrollees.
Please contact our Director of Admissions ( or 434.842.4205) if you have a special request for a course that isn’t listed above.
