佩恩说, “As a graduate of a Virginia boarding school, I have a deep appreciation for the opportunities provided for young men at schools like 费什伯恩. Some young men need more, 和 schools like 费什伯恩 provide a place where they are supported 和 challenged.”
FMS boasts small class sizes (10-1 Cadet to teacher ratio), individualized education that is dependent upon each Cadet’s ambitions, leadership training through its JROTC program, 和 an athletics program that requires every Cadet to participate in a sport of their choice.
