The group, aged between 15 and 17, has been charged with assault causing actual bodily harm and are due to appear at the Sigatoka Magistrates Court today.
A video, viewed thousands of times, was posted on Facebook this week appearing to show a boy being beaten in a Fiji boarding school.
Facebook removed the video after a request from the country's Online Safety Commission.
Police say the incident took place last year.
The case comes as the National Substance Abuse Advisory Council released a report saying there were over 1,280 cases of bullying recorded in Fiji schools in 2019.
