Great school. Principal and staff are very good at keeping students engaged and active. The extended school day and fitness focus, keep students busy. Wonderful school option for children of all ages. It’s nice that it caters to kindergarten through 8th grade!

More Than Just a School. A Foundation for Life.
At Performance Academies, we do more than teach. We build confident students with strong character, healthy habits, and the skills to thrive in school and beyond.
Strong Character
Education
Daily 30-minute lessons on kindness, responsibility, and respect, because who your child becomes matters just as much as what they learn. A school uniform reinforces structure and pride every day.
High School Prep Starts Early
From kindergarten on, students follow a rigorous academic path with extended instruction time and personal support. Our alumni are often awarded scholarships to top high schools through our exclusive transition program.
Small, Supportive Classrooms
Smaller class sizes and caring educators mean no child slips through the cracks. We tailor learning to meet each student where they are, and help them grow from there.
Safe, Structured Environment
A no-tolerance policy for violence or bullying, plus daily behavior and social-emotional learning, ensures your child is supported in every way and free to focus on their future.
Daily Fitness for a Stronger Mind & Body
Our students move every day with 1.4 hours of structured fitness, building not just physical health, but focus, discipline, and confidence too.
Parents, we invite you to share your thoughts on how our school has positively impacted your child’s education and overall experience.
