Who’s ready for a summer challenge that gets the whole family moving? 🥋⚽️
We know our scholars work hard all year to stay active, and we want to keep that incredible momentum going all summer long! To help keep our 1.4-hour fitness rule alive at home this July, we’re introducing the July Fitness BINGO challenge! ☀️🙌
It’s a fun and interactive way to stay disciplined while having a blast. Simply create a BINGO card at home and fill the squares with activities like:
✨ 15 minutes of martial arts practice
✨ 30 minutes of soccer or tennis in the park
✨ 10 jumping jacks before breakfast
✨ A family walk or bike ride
✨ 5 minutes of focused stretching
Try to get five in a row or go for a "Blackout BINGO" by the end of the month! Whether they are practicing their forms or scoring goals, every square filled is a step toward a stronger, more confident scholar. 🏆💪
Let’s keep those Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds, and Healthy Futures thriving! Comment below and let us know which square your scholar filled today! 👇✨

Ever feel like there’s just not enough time in the school day to really grasp a tough math concept or dive deep into a great book? 🕒 At Performance Academies, we believe our scholars deserve the time it takes to reach true mastery!
That’s why we use double blocks for Math and English every single day. 📚🔢 By providing 100+ extra hours of learning annually, we move way beyond just "getting through" the lesson. We give our amazing scholars the space to ask the big questions, practice until they're confident, and truly own their education.
It’s all about building Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds, and Healthy Futures. When our scholars head into high school, they aren’t just prepared: they’re ready to lead! 💪✨
We’re so proud of the grit and focus our young stars show during these double blocks. Keep shining, scholars! 🌟

Who knew that the secret to mastering fractions was hidden in a batch of chocolate chip cookies? 🍪
Summer is the perfect time for our scholars to swap their pencils for measuring cups! Turning the kitchen into a classroom is one of our favorite ways to beat the 'math slide' while creating delicious memories together. 🥣✨
Whether it's doubling a recipe (hello, multiplication!) or carefully measuring out 3/4 cup of flour, these everyday moments reinforce the mastery we strive for during our double blocks of Math. At Performance Academies, we believe learning doesn't stop when the school bell rings: it’s about building a foundation for life. 📐💪
Keep those "Healthy Minds" sharp this summer by involving your scholars in your next meal prep. It’s amazing how much focus and discipline they show when there’s a tasty treat at the end! 🍎🥧
Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds, Healthy Futures. ❤️🤍💙

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Sally Rabi to the Performance Academies family as Superintendent of Eastland Performance Academy, South Scioto Performance Academy, and Whitehall Preparatory & Fitness Academy!
Dr. Rabi considers herself a global citizen, having lived and worked in several countries around the world. Those experiences have shaped her belief that every culture has something to teach us and that learning is a lifelong journey enriched by curiosity, understanding, and diverse perspectives.
She believes every child possesses a remarkable brain, uniquely wired to learn, create, and grow. For Dr. Rabi, the purpose of education is not to fit children into a single model, but to discover the pathways that unlock each student's unique gifts, empowering them to reach their fullest potential and become who they were meant to be.
Her favorite quote beautifully reflects that philosophy:
"Wisdom begins in wonder."
— Socrates
As we begin this school year, Dr. Rabi shared:
"Thank you again for the warm welcome. I am excited to be part of the Performance Academies family and look forward to partnering with our students, staff, and families to make this an outstanding school year."
Welcome to Performance Academies, Dr. Rabi! We are excited for the leadership, vision, and passion you bring to our schools.

👋 Is your scholar just "doing school" or are they starting to own their future?
We believe that success in high school and beyond starts with the habits our scholars build today. It’s about moving from simply completing assignments to taking real charge of their journey! 🚀
Our High School Readiness program focuses on empowering scholars with the tools they need to lead. This means mastering time management: learning how to balance rigorous academics with our daily fitness programs: and getting a head start on scholarship searching. 📚✨
When scholars take ownership of their schedules and their goals, they aren't just preparing for the next grade; they are preparing for life. We are so proud of the discipline and focus our young stars show every single day!
Whether they are eyeing a top private high school or continuing with our own fantastic high school programs, we’re here to coach them every step of the way. Let’s keep building those healthy habits for healthy futures! ❤️💙
