Columbus Preparatory and Fitness Academy Expands to Add Ninth Grade

Columbus Preparatory and Fitness Academy will expand to include its first ninth-grade class, creating a seamless pathway for students ready to continue their academic journey within the Performance Academies network. The expansion reflects strong interest from families seeking continuity, structure, and a high school experience rooted in strong academics and daily fitness.

The addition of ninth grade allows current CPFA students to build on the foundation they have already established—benefiting from small class sizes, individualized instruction, and consistent expectations. High school coursework will align with Ohio graduation requirements while emphasizing college and career readiness, ensuring students are prepared for long-term success. Enrollment is now open for incoming ninth-grade students.
