High Schools Want Our Graduates
Our Transition Program helps 8th graders leave Columbus Preparatory and Fitness Academy fully prepared for high school academically, socially, and emotionally.
We guide families through applications, test prep, and interviews, helping students earn spots and scholarships at some of the top high schools in Ohio.
With the right support, our students don’t just get in. They stand out.
Social Media Updates
Today we welcomed a delivery of well‑maintained, like‑new classroom furniture — bookshelves, boards, cubbies, tables, and more. Our teachers are already arranging these refreshed pieces to make every classroom feel organized, inviting, and ready for learning.
With new leadership, new furniture, and a fresh start, we’re building a school year full of growth, pride, and possibility.
We can’t wait to welcome our Dragons on the first day of school.
📚✨ **Ms. Turner is hard at work preparing for our first graders!**
Lesson plans help teachers stay organized, set clear goals, and create strong, engaging instruction. By planning ahead, Ms. Turner ensures her students get lessons that build skills, spark curiosity, and support every learner.
We love seeing our teachers prepare for a successful year — our Dragons are in great hands! 💛🐉📚
📚🐉 **BOOK VENDING MACHINE AT CPFA!** 🐉📚
At Columbus Preparatory & Fitness Academy, we’re always looking for exciting ways to motivate our Dragons — and our **Book Vending Machine** is officially one of the coolest rewards in the building.
Students can earn **Dragon Dollars** through ClassDojo (electronically) or in paper form from teachers for showing:
⭐ Positive behavior
⭐ Leadership
⭐ Courage
⭐ Integrity
⭐ Kind choices
⭐ Classroom excellence
Once they’ve saved enough Dragon Dollars, students can purchase a **special coin** and use it in the vending machine to select a **brand‑new book of their choice**.
It’s a fun, empowering way to celebrate reading, responsibility, and student leadership. And honestly… it’s just *really cool* to get a book from a vending machine.
We’re proud of our Dragons and excited to keep building a school culture where reading is celebrated and positive behavior pays off in meaningful ways. 💛📚🐉
💛✨ **LOOK — YOU FIT RIGHT IN AT CPFA!** ✨💛
“Look, You Fit Right In!” bulletin board is up and ready to welcome our Dragons and their families. At Columbus Preparatory & Fitness Academy, we believe every student belongs, every voice matters, and every child deserves a school community where they feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
If you are **looking for a school for your student**, we invite you to **stop by during regular school business hours**. Come meet our team, tour our building, and see firsthand how CPFA creates a positive, structured, and encouraging environment for all learners.
We are excited to welcome new families, build strong relationships, and continue growing a community where students truly *fit right in*. 🐉📚💛
🌐✨ **At Columbus Preparatory & Fitness Academy, we want our students to be Internet Safe!** ✨🌐
Our staff has created a new **Internet Safety Awareness bulletin board** to spark conversations with students about making smart, safe choices online. This display is designed to encourage dialogue, build understanding, and remind our Dragons that their digital decisions matter.
As we work to build **strong, confident student leaders**, we want every child to know how to protect themselves online — from keeping personal information private to recognizing unsafe situations and speaking up when something doesn’t feel right.
Families, we encourage you to **talk with your students about internet safety at home**, too. When school and home work together, our students grow into responsible digital citizens who know how to navigate the online world with confidence.
Together — students, teachers, administrators, and families — we’re creating a community where our Dragons feel empowered, informed, and safe both in school and online. 💛🐉💪🏽
✨ **Columbus Preparatory & Fitness Academy is gearing up for a fantastic school year!** ✨
Today our staff participated in a powerful **PBIS training**, focusing on collaboration, consistency, and building a positive learning environment where every student can thrive.
This year, we are committed to creating a **student‑led school community** — one where students take ownership of their learning, their choices, and their school culture, supported every step of the way by dedicated teachers, engaged families, and strong administrative leadership.
Together, we’re building a community rooted in:
💛 Positive Behavior Supports
🤝 Collaboration
📣 Student Voice
🏫 Shared Responsibility
🌟 A culture where everyone belongs and everyone contributes
We can’t wait to welcome our Dragons back and partner with them to make 2026–2027 our strongest year yet. The work has begun… and the excitement is real!
