🚒🔥 Today was an exciting day at Columbus Preparatory and Fitness Academy!
We were so excited to welcome the Columbus Fire Department, Station 12 — the “Dirty Dozen” — to our school! Our Kindergarten through 4th grade students had an amazing time learning about fire safety, answering questions, and learning what firefighters do to keep our community safe.
The students even got the chance to step inside a real fire truck and see some of the equipment firefighters use! They were engaged, asking questions, and having so much fun throughout the visit.
And the best part? 🚨 The firefighters surprised the students by beeping the horn and turning on the sirens! You should have seen the smiles and excitement! ❤️
A huge THANK YOU to Station 12 for spending time with our students and helping us teach such an important lesson.
We’ll see you again in the spring when the fire truck returns for our 5th–8th grade students! 👩🏾🚒👨🏾🚒🚒

Our Whitehall 8th graders are starting to consider their high school options! 🎓
Students recently visited Columbus Performance High School East, where they had the opportunity to see our high school students in action, experience what a high school classroom is like, and even take part in an activity from one of our Business courses. They wrapped up their visit with lunch in the high school cafeteria!
At Performance Academies, we know the transition to high school is an important step. Through our High School Transition Program, we are committed to helping every student explore their options, understand what different high school experiences have to offer, and find the high school that is the right fit for them.
It’s never too early to start thinking about what comes next! 📚➡️🎓

Every powerful movement begins with focus. 🥋
At Performance Academies, martial arts is more than daily fitness: it is a pathway to discipline, confidence, respect, and perseverance. Through consistent practice, our scholars learn to listen carefully, stay focused, overcome challenges, and carry themselves with purpose both on and off the mat.
These lessons extend beyond training. They strengthen academic focus, build character, and help our scholars grow into confident leaders prepared for life.
Healthy Bodies. Healthy Minds. Healthy Futures. 💪📚🌟
