Fork Union has a long history of sexual abuse by faculty officers and then trying to keep it hidden going as far as to dismiss the cadet and allowing the faculty officer to continue to stay with the Academy. It is time FUMA accepts responsibility for what it did and stop trying to hide this and protect those they are paid to protect and not the abusers.......In 1974 I was a Cadet at FUMA. I was secually assaulted by a faculty officer and when it was reported to the Academy I was licked out and the faculty officer was allowed to stay on.....putting more cadets at risk. I pressed charges 19 years later and the faculty officer pled guilty. FUMA never apologized for what happened and still tries to cover it up and hide what happened to protect the school. As a matter of fact they have recently sent my daughter and myself a letter telling me to stop posting this story and to stop posting on social media. They also sent out a letter yo the parents of all current cadets telling them these are allegations. These are facts not allegations and FUMA is trying to protect itself still to this day. This ruined my life and still makes it hard for me to maintain a stable life.
Disgraceful school. History of sexual assaults by teachers, Captain Black admits to them actively covering it up, "Scrubbing the internet". Fork Union kicked out the kid that reported the SA, and kept the teacher on until the end of the year and court documents even state that some of the higher ups knew he "might swing that way".
This school has been an answer to prayers. Our Grandson has ADHD and two years ago lost his Dad in a tragic accident. He retreated to computer games and refused to even try in his school classes. From the beginning, the staff at FUMA have worked to address his issues in kind and sensitive ways. His teachers have been caring and excellent in their subject matter! Col. Coggins has shown to be an able leader and bold in his Christian witness. I highly recommend Fork Union Military Academy!!
The good is they did a great job with my son from a leaership standpoint but that does not outweigh FUMA's utter failure to guide him through the college application process. That falls under the academic department which has some good teachers but not good leadership. College guidance was trimmed to a part time position and that effected my son greatly. No accountability either. Upper classmen beware. They failed my son miserably.
I sent my son to FUMA after I caught him smoking and vaping a juul. He got back after a year and when I tell you he was a different person, I MEAN IT.He came back and all he would do was smoke weed! He told me this school was very uncomfortable and some very odd experiences happened. This was the worst mistake of my life! Too expensive and a waste of money
Our son was at FUMA for 2-1/2 years. He was Cadet of the Year once, and Cadet of the Term four times. He was on the President's List (Straight As) and in the National Honor Society. He never liked the school. I thought is was a good experience for him, until I raised safety concerns with President Coggins. His reply? I have an attitude and I need to find a new school for my son. Are you serious? So he kicked out one of the best students in the entire school, and a family who always paid in advance. What a waste of money to send our son here. This Coggins character is a complete fool. He will accept your money with a smile, then never wants to speak to you again. The one subject plan does not prepare kids for college, as that isn't the way colleges operate. The school doesn't teach kids independence and doesn't prepare kids for school. It's a terrible place to send your son. A public school is a much better option. And Coggins doesn't know what he is doing to kids and their families. Good teachers, terrible administration! You have many more options than this place. Do not trust your son in a school run by President Coggins!!
Fork Union Military Academy was the best decision we have made as parents. It is not easy, very challenging at times, but we have not regrets, only gratitude...Our boys did not like it at first, but once they got involved in school, sports and clubs they thrived. The quality of the academic programs, faculty and support is outstanding . My oldest son attends the Naval Academy and my youngest who is currently a senior will be attending next year. This would not be possible without Fork Union. Go FUMA!!
Am 78 years old and went to the middle school for five years before my father deserted me and my mother. This school save my life. I did not learn to read until I got in the 7th grade because I'm a dyslexic. And I had learning disabilities. This school gave me the tools for life number one respect for others. Then I got respect for myself. As I look back at my life if it hadn't been for Fork Union Military Academy I would have never made it through life. They are still doing things the same way. To take boys and make fine Christian Young man out of them. My personal relationship with Jesus Christ stems from this school and helps guide and direct my life everyday. I would recommend this school to anyone.
I have tried to find something wrong with this school these past 3 years and can not. It's staff is a dedicated bunch of educators, low turn over rates. Small classroom sizes, beautiful campus, they teach these young men about accountability. Has a 100% college acceptance rate, great college prep school.
What a difference this experience has made. My son has excelled academically, physically, spiritually, and most importantly in his self-confidence, which I did not even realize was lacking. Best decision I ever made, he's looking forward to returning for 8th grade next year!
