By developing the whole person through the Five Cornerstones, our graduates are equipped to navigate any challenge they may face. Upon graduation, 96% continue their education at top colleges and universities worldwide, while 3% pursue military service, and 1% choose trade school or a gap year.

VFMA graduates are highly sought after by universities for their maturity, leadership qualities, and disciplined approach to academics. Having lived away from home in a structured, shared environment, they are confident and well-prepared for independent living.
