We enrolled him in the 9th grade and when they say they are in the life changing business, they really know what they are talking about. He is flourishing there in a safe, non-distracting school. His first year saw him receive distinguished cadet and all A's. It was as if he had become a completely different person. He held his head up high, and became so confident. He is now talking about college (a subject he never even considered), and people who see him now say how changed he is for the better. I cannot say enough about FUMA. Yes, it is a financial burden, but knowing he will have a successful future, it is worth every penny. The teachers and staff care, and now that his entire attitude has changed, it is a pleasure to watch him grow into manhood.
