Summary: Fork Union Military Academy follows a unique curriculum plan in our Upper School (grades 9-12 and postgraduate). It is called the One Subject Plan.Instead of juggling 4 to 6 classes every day, or following a "block schedule," our students take one subject at a time. The year is divided into five grading periods of about 7 weeks each. Each grading period, the student takes one class. He is with that one teacher all day, every day, for about 7 weeks.
