The Fortis Program at Liguori Academy is an accelerated program in partnership with the School District of Philadelphia that allows students to earn the credits they need to graduate from high school. Through meaningful academic courses, socio-emotional education, post-secondary counseling, and the opportunity to engage in Liguori’s student life activities outside of the classroom, the Fortis Program prepares students for what’s next on their journey.
