Fishburne saved me. I was headed down a path that led to not being able to graduate if I kept on doing the things I was doing. The structure and the ability to have a one on one experience with my teachers, propelled me towards being on honor roll. That never happened in public school.

I sent my son there starting in 7th grade now he's in the 11th grade. Fishburne has successfully navigated the transition from old school military values and accountability techniques to the current standards. My son has flourished. He started struggling to get a " C" to achieving "A's, and B's . He started as a private and grew into a luitenent, - leader of men. He has now set his sights on college. Thanks to Fishburne!!

We sent our son to Fishburne this year after researching many options. He kept saying that he wanted to go to Fishburne because he said that it felt the most like a family. He, like many teenagers, lacked direction and motivation. He is thriving! His grades are excellent, he is well prepared for the...

I attended FMS for 5 years because of poor grades . While I had "fixed" my grades problem, it wasn't because of a better teaching style or increased time studying. It was because of how ridiculously easy the classes were. I put forth maybe 5 minutes of effort to get the homework done before i walked...

Fishburne is an amazing school that changed my life. I was struggling when I arrived in 96 and the school was a pivotal in my turn around. Raised by a single Mom, she noticed the lack of motivation and direction in my life a decided to sign me up. It was a dramatic change from NY and the change of p...
