With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our longtime Speech and Language Pathologist and dear friend, Kate Penn.
Kate was the kind of person who made everyone feel welcome. Her positive attitude, genuine kindness, and passion for living life to the fullest left a lasting impression on everyone she met. Whether she was supporting students, encouraging colleagues, or sharing the mission of Performance Academies with families in the community, Kate gave her whole heart to everything she did.
We could always count on Kate. Throughout her years with Performance Academies, she touched the lives of countless students, families, and staff members. While the space she leaves behind can never truly be filled, we know our schools and our community are better because we had the privilege of knowing and loving her.
We will deeply miss her larger-than-life personality, her contagious smile, and the incredible hugs that made so many people feel seen, valued, and cared for.
Our hearts are with Kate's family and friends. We are holding them close in our thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time and extend our deepest love and support.
Kate's legacy lives on through the lives she touched, the students she championed, the colleagues she encouraged, and the countless moments of kindness she shared. She will forever be a part of the Performance Academies family and will be deeply missed.
Our offices are open 8:00-4:00 Monday-Friday to help support you with enrollment, last minute questions or just to say "Hello". Please, do not hesitate to call or stop by!

Happy 250th Birthday, America!
As we head into this historic Independence Day weekend, we’re reflecting on what it means to build a lasting legacy. At Performance Academies, our mission goes beyond the classroom to prepare our scholars for a lifetime of leadership and service.
That’s why every single day includes 30 minutes of dedicated Character Education. By focusing on the core values of responsibility, respect, and kindness, we are helping our young stars grow into the responsible citizens who will shape the next 250 years of our nation’s story.
We are so incredibly proud of our scholars and grateful for our amazing families who partner with us in this journey. Whether you’re celebrating with fireworks, a backyard BBQ, or quiet time with loved ones, we wish you a safe and joyful holiday weekend!
Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds, Healthy Futures.

The journey to excellence doesn’t end at Grade 8! 🎓
At Performance Academies, we are so proud of the incredible growth and discipline our scholars show every day. As they look toward their next big chapter, we are thrilled to offer a seamless transition into our very own High School programs: the natural next step for scholars who want to keep building on their academic and athletic foundations. 🌟
Our High School Readiness Program provides more than just a path forward; it provides a supportive home. While we continue to offer expert admissions and scholarship guidance for those exploring private school options, our own high schools are designed to keep our scholars thriving in the environment they know and love, surrounded by teachers who believe in their potential.
From rigorous academics and double blocks of core subjects to our signature daily fitness and character lessons, the Performance Academies mission continues all the way to graduation. We are honored to walk this path with our families! ❤️
Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds, Healthy Futures.
