Dear Scholars and Families,
Thank you for being part of the Trotwood Preparatory and Fitness Academy family and for joining us at an important milestone— our 25th Anniversary and the launch of our inaugural 9th grade class.
For more than 25 years, Performance Academies has prepared students for success by educating the whole child. At Trotwood, every student is seen, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential academically, socially, and personally. Expanding into high school is a natural next step that allows us to continue this work as our scholars grow.
Our high school program builds on a strong K–8 foundation, emphasizing academic excellence, daily fitness, character development, and student wellness. Scholars benefit from an extended school day, engaging instruction, and enrichment that promotes confidence, discipline, and readiness for the future.
As members of the inaugural 9th grade class, students are expected to lead by example—striving for academic and fitness excellence, inspiring teamwork, upholding strong moral and ethical values, and encouraging their own spirit and the spirit of others. Clear expectations around attendance, uniforms, behavior, and full participation in the school day ensure a focused and respectful learning environment.
You are helping define what high school looks like at Trotwood Preparatory and Fitness Academy. We are proud to partner with you as we begin this next chapter together.
With appreciation,
Ms. Betty Torrence
Interim Principal
Trotwood Preparatory and Fitness Academy

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.
