Info
Fortis receives just as much money per child as the public schools are funded. Yet no buses, crappy parking, inexperienced teachers, over sized class rooms...29 students...to many. Here your child is just a number. They can't even have home games, concerts or events at the school because there is no ...  Read more

Parents need to keep in mind - these children are your children...you must take the time to read with them, help with homework and establish a strong moral ethic at home. You cannot expect the teachers to transform your child into something you want them to be without putting time into them. I spent ...  Read more

The elementary school is fine, but the middle school is horrible. The teachers are unrealistic in their expectations under the guise of being high achieving.

I love this school. I drive my daughter 40 minutes to school. The teacher's are dedicated and compassionate about children and their success not only in education, but in life too. I love the fact that diversity is everywhere you do in the school.

My child is getting a stellar education at Fortis by a staff of teachers who truly care about their students and their learning. Parent involvement is key to any child's success in school and teachers do a good job keeping us in the loop with weekly newsletters and progress reports. I couldn't be happier ...  Read more

This school is terrible. The teachers are fresh out of school themselves. The parking is terrible and the staff is rude. If you could careless about your child's education this is the place to be!!! If you do care....Ann Arbor public schools!!!! They offer so much more. If your child attends Fortis until ...  Read more

I am a parent of a student who has now gone in the high school. I would recommend Fortis to any parent who wants their child to get a wonderful education. I now have a five year old who is attending Fortis, she is doing an excellent job.
