As you know, our program has a strong academic core with 2 hours of reading instruction, 1 ½ hours of math instruction, 1 hour of social studies, 1 hour of science, and 1 hour of fitness daily! Thank you for partnering with us in your child’s education.
School Reminders
- Our school day begins at 8:00 a.m. Please make sure your student is on time and in uniform so they are not counted tardy.
- Our doors open at 7:35 a.m. and breakfast is served from open until 8:00 a.m.
- In the event that your child will be absent from school, please report the absence to the office at 614-318-0600 by 8:30 a.m.
- If you must change your dismissal procedure, you will need to notify the office in writing by noon.
- Dismissal begins at 4:00 – parents picking their child up at the end of the day will need to stay in their vehicle. We will safely bring your child out to you.

We have an exciting year planned and we thank you for giving us the opportunity to be a part of your extended family!

School choice empowers families to find the educational environment that best fits their child’s needs, strengths, and goals. 🏫✨ When families have options, students thrive—academically, socially, and emotionally.
Every child deserves access to a school that supports their learning style, nurtures their interests, and helps them reach their full potential. Choice encourages innovation, accountability, and stronger school communities, all while keeping students at the center of the conversation.
Education is not one-size-fits-all. School choice ensures families can choose the path that works best for them.

Confidence and success go hand in hand at Performance Academies.
When students know what is expected of them—and have the structure and support to meet those expectations—they begin to believe in themselves.
That belief shows up in the classroom, in their effort, and in their willingness to take on challenges. Over time, confidence becomes competence, and effort turns into achievement.
Success is not accidental. It is built intentionally, one day at a time.
