PROCESS FOR NEW FAMILIES

Thank you for your interest in Fortis Academy. Fortis is an accredited academy with a multi-denominational Christ-centered educational community. In our academic model, dedicated teachers collaborate with families to provide an exceptional classical education for students from Mother’s Day Out (Pre-K) through 12th grade. We require at least one parent to be a professing Christian and actively seek out or be involved in a local church that adheres to the Nicene Creed.  See the Fortis Academy Overview Page for full details.

Fortis Academy is only accepting enrollment for the remainder of the 2026-2027 school year if you are interested in our Mother’s Day Out program or you are transferring from another Classical Christian School at the start of 2027.  If you are interested in enrolling for the current school year, please email questions@fortisacademy.net. We will consider all other inquiries for the 2027-2028 school year.  Our tours begin in October 2026, and we accept applications starting in November 2026.
