When we see what’s great in a boy, it’s not long before he sees what’s great in himself. And at the end of the day, that may be the most important thing he’ll ever learn here. Because of our size, our unique perspective using a military model and our inclusive environment, Fishburne is the best place for boys to discover their best selves.
Fishburne Military School accepts students grades 7-12 and provides two types of enrollment.
This plan is for students who want to attend Fishburne full time during the school year, except for leaves requested by parents or guardians, then approved by the school, and, of course, during holidays and leaves on the school calendar.
You don’t have to live at Fishburne to be a full-time student here. As a Day Student, you attend all scheduled school activities, including lunch formation and physical training, then go home at night. This option is only available to students who live in Waynesboro and its surrounding areas.

Each Saturday, a trip will be offered to the cadets. In the past these have been: Shenandoah Caverns, Skyline Paintball, Kings Dominion, and Massanutten Water Park. These are subject to change. The third weekend (July 17-18) is typically considered an open weekend. Students are able to take leave (go home) on this weekend. |
