Perhaps you already feel that this is true and know that Fishburne is the ideal place for you to create your perfect future。
Maybe you think it's real, but no one else has actually seen it。
Or, maybe you don't feel it at all, but you know you need to be in a military prep school where you can finally be seen and appreciated。
Part of that is our super small class。Partly because we have less than 200 students at our military prep school, so you can't hide out here。Part of it is being a teacher who knows how to bring out the best in you。Part of that is brotherhood, and it will change your life。A big part of that is our commitment to every boy who comes here - a commitment that goes back more than 125 years。
Yes, you must make your bed perfect。Yeah, you're gonna do a lot of parades。But no, you will not be lost in the sea of unity。The truth is, we want you to discover the particular things (or things) that you do exceptionally well, and then find the future that works best for you。Maybe at the service academy。Maybe it's a college or something else entirely, like an apprenticeship school, which is harder to get into than an Ivy League school。

Fishburne is small for a reason - so you can get the support and encouragement you need...So you can play the sport you want...That way you can really get to know your teachers, your "brothers" and your coaches。
Tell us about your goals and we'll help you achieve them。Along the way, we'll show you how discipline can truly liberate you, how respect for others can boost your self-esteem, and how honor can make life more worthwhile。
Because of our size and our commitment to each of our trainees, you can't hide here。Is that why every cadet who leaves here knows himself better, likes himself better, and is ready to excel at whatever goal he has。
Fishburne is one
-- See you more,
- Give you more,
- Let you get more。
We have designed our website to be a valuable and comprehensive resource for you, but sometimes it can be nice to have something。Packed with vital information and unexpected insights, our brand new Fishburne booklet will show how Fishburne can be the ideal place for your son to discover his strengths, learn the value of structure, feel the special bonds that only a military-style school can provide, and sharpen ideals that are admired around the world。
"We do all the stupid things together。”
- Corporal CADET, third year
First of all, there was no one in Fishburne to stand and check what the students were wearing。 Or if they are, they get bored quickly。No one is comparing cars or haircuts。The upperclassmen did not disparage the new boy。
"I like myself better here。”
- CADET Private \ First semester
As for what to expect, just like the kids at every other school, we're excited for today's game (especially since every Fishburne cadet is invited to play on any team).。We're also thinking about exams, essays, projects and clubs, and even what are we going to have for lunch。And, of course, we look forward to spending time with our friends (and girlfriends!).。
"I've never worked so hard。Or very happy。”
-- Master Sergeant CADET, the second year
You see, life at Fishburne is a blend of discipline, hard work, intense fun, brotherhood, service, hanging out, getting up early, going to bed tired, and - perhaps unlike life at other schools - looking forward to starting all over again and doing it again tomorrow。
"I used to be arrogant。Now I have confidence。”
- Fourth year of Major CADET Command
Yes, life is organized - but in a way that opens your mind。Yes, there is discipline - but it gives you purpose in life, not limits。Yes, integrity is one thing - you know, just like in life。
"I was always looking for something that would give meaning to my life...I found it.。”
- Corporal CADET \ the second year
No matter what happens, every minute counts in a typical day, which means your life will never be typical。
