A Parents Testimonial
“My son started Fortitude Education after experiencing a very difficult time in mainstream school and then being out of education for over a year, due to his special educational needs and disabilities. Since starting Fortitude school my son has gone from refusing to go to school to now really enjoying school!!
The small class sizes and smaller environment has had an extremely positive impact on him. All teachers are dedicated, friendly and caring. My son also enjoys going to the school farm each week and feeding the animals. For the first time ever he is making friends and learning social skills. Teachers are great at communicating with parents each day, either at pick up or via the parent/teacher diary that comes home each day so I know what he’s been upto and any information that needs sharing back and forth between me and school.
