FALCON SPORTS
We believe that participation in athletics provides an opportunity to encourage students in their relationship with and witness for Jesus Christ. Our athletic programs strive to develop Christian character and promote the values of competitive excellence, teamwork, self-discipline, and integrity. We participate in the Austin Christian Athletic Association and compete in flag football, volleyball, basketball, co-ed soccer, and track.
VISUAL ARTS & THEATER
The visual arts program at Fortis familiarizes students with elements of art, principles of design, artists, art history, and various techniques and media. Our students gain confidence in the making of art as they build skills, foster creativity, and learn to appreciate art and beauty around us.
Students will study the elements of drama – one act plays, musicals, classic literature, and other great plays of western civilization. Performance selections will be made in consideration of the students’ talents as we put together performances designed just for our group of extraordinary players. Dress rehearsals and evening public performances required.
