Fortress

Fortress after school provides programming for students who attend a neighborhood elementary school. In the classroom, there is a shared academic focus on completing homework assignments and reading. Beyond that, Fortress teachers support school learning with engaging and hands-on activities such as art projects, science experiments, and outdoor learning. Students in need of extra academic support receive small group and one-on-one instruction from our on-staff reading intervention specialist, utilizing both technology and traditional teaching methods. Time is allotted each week for outdoor play and games. Students are encouraged to build strong relationships with one another, and with staff and volunteers. They are also given opportunities to explore new talents and skills that may open doors for them in the future. Special events such as field trips and special interest clubs also make the program an enriching, fun experience for students.

Fortress summer is a daily bible-focused program which keeps children engaged in a fun, safe environment while encouraging academic and spiritual growth. It employs the gifts and resources of visiting Youth mission groups from across the country.

Fortress preschool is a full-time, licensed preschool which provides creative play, early literacy training, and school readiness for children ages 18 months-4 years. Children enrolled in Fortress preschool participate in both teacher and child-directed activities, receive breakfast and lunch and enjoy both outside and inside play.

Lead (learn, engage, achieve, discipline), formally equip, is the parent engagement program. Fortress does not charge for its programs instead requires twelve hours of engagement from each family. The lead program offers parenting classes, services and family events designed to strengthen the family and encourage engagements.
