Our Philosophy
Five Pillars
1
High Expectations
Means that our students will be competitively eligible for college.
2
Choice and Commitment
We all choose to be in this environment, so we have to be committed. That means we will do whatever it takes in order for our students to succeed. That includes, students, parents, teachers, and staff. We don’t shy away from hard work, we embrace it. No one will out-work a Fortune School scholar, no one.
3
More Time
We give our scholars more time in order to be successful. That means tutoring, Saturday school, and intersession. Our scholars do better because they spend more time practicing.
4
Focus on Results
We are a data-driven environment. We are constantly analyzing student data and making adjustments in instruction to meet the needs of students. We are very public with our data, and you can check your student’s results through the illuminate system on your parent portal.
5
Citizenship
We’ve talked a lot about the mind. At Fortune School, we also care about the heart. We teach our students to do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do. Our students must do a community service project throughout the year which is also an Honor Roll requirement.
