A Summer Like No Other

Summer School and Summer Camps at Fork Union

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.

Summer School

When: July 8, 2024 - August 3, 2024
Who: Young Men in Grades 7-12

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.

Summer Session Schedule
  • 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.

Why Choose Fork Union’s Summer School?

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.

Rigorous academic instruction by expert faculty
Get ahead in school or to catch up on courses
Take enrichment courses in addition to daily extra-curricular activities and athletics
Experience the Academy before committing to an entire school year
