Fork Union's Summer Academy 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.

Summer Academy at Fork Union Military Academy
  • Students who only need one repeat course or one new half-credit course can depart campus after the first two-week term.
  • Students taking two repeat or half-credit courses will continue for the second 2-week term to take their second class.
  • If a student is taking a full credit course, he will continue with that class for the full 4 weeks.

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.
