Welcome to Fortis Arena
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." -Joshua 1:9
The Academy is elated to share the name of our new athletics and wellness center–Fortis Arena–Latin for strength and courage. Whatever dreams take shape in the hearts of our students, we pray they are defined by strength and courage.
Please join us at "The Fort" for the Grand Opening on Friday, January 30.
Grand Opening
You are invited to join us for the Grand Opening of Fortis Arena (“The Fort”) on Friday, January 30, as we celebrate this long-awaited milestone in the life of Christ Presbyterian Academy. In August 2024, we celebrated the groundbreaking, and now we open the doors together. We are deeply grateful for the generosity and leadership of those who contributed to the Unseen Stories Campaign to make this vision a reality for generations to come.
Attendees will enjoy free admission, free fan giveaways, a full concessions menu (including our first-ever "Fortis Freeze" slushy), raffle prizes, and the first 300 upper school students to arrive will receive a free "Hold the Fort" T-shirt. Many founders, alumni, and special guests will be in attendance. We hope your family can join us for this special occasion!
