Fork Union Military Academy
Fork Union Military Academy is a private, all-male, military boarding school located in the town of Fork Union, Virginia. The school is more commonly known by its acronym FUMA (pronounced "foo-mah" as of late; "few-mah" in earlier times).
Fork Union is affiliated with the Baptist General Association of Virginia and accepts students from grades 7-12. The school has a post-graduate (PG) program, through which high school graduates can improve their athletic abilities and SAT scores in preparation for college. These PG students are often athletes seeking to qualify for Division I scholarships. The school has a regular academic session which runs from August to May and a four-week summer session in July.
==History==
Located on a campus in the rolling hills of central Virginia’s Piedmont region, Fork Union Military Academy was initially founded as Fork Union Academy in October 1898 by Dr. William E. Hatcher, a prominent local Baptist minister. The first class had 19 boys and girls. In 1902, the academy took on a military structure to provide organization, discipline, and physical development for the boys of what was a rapidly growing school. In 1913, the academy became an all-male institution and changed its name to Fork Union Military Academy. That same year, the Academy began receiving support from the Baptist General Association of Virginia, which continues to this day.
Some of its buildings are named after benefactors that have helped with upkeep, for example, the Guy E. Beatty Library, the Estes Dining Center, Hatcher Hall, the Wicker Science Center, and Jacobson Hall.
