Fork Union Military Academy offers a resource seminar designed to assist cadets who need additional academic support. Those enrolled in the seminar will meet at designated time periods during the class week to receive academic support such as remedial instruction of course content, learning strategies—including (but not limited to) notetaking, studying, and test-taking strategies—amongst other skills needed to be successful (i.e., time management, self-accountability, and prioritizing).
For cadets to receive individualized instruction, content teachers are communicated with weekly to further identify any weaknesses or needs. Students do earn a grade based on work ethic, positive attitude, and attendance. Students must participate and be receptive to working towards academic proficiency.
The resource seminar does not conflict with the academic term course. This resource seminar course is in addition to any seminar or term course offerings. Enrollment in the Resource Program is a fee of $1,500.00 for the school year ($300 per term) in addition to the regular tuition.
For more information about the resource seminar or for help enrolling, please contact our Academic Resource Instructor, Mike Tyrrell, via email at tyrrellm@fuma.org.
Department of College Placement and Academic Services oversees Fork Union Military Academy's Online Driver Education Program. The classroom portion of the program is conducted through online education, and the "behind the wheel" portion of the program is available through Hardy's Driving School, an outside service provider located in Farmville, VA.
Both the online classroom program and the behind-the-wheel program are contracted for separately by families and each carries an additional fee that must be paid to the service provider. Our Academic Department is only involved in facilitating this program and seeing that eligible cadets are given the opportunity to participate. Cadets do earn 1/2 credit of elective credit upon completion of the Drivers Education Program.
Please email Elizabeth Patrick at patricke@fuma.org if you have any additional questions involving Fork Union Military Academy's Driver Education Program.
