A Party Every Week at Cortona Academy:
Having fun can never be underrated, not in today’s world! It’s not too late to join our Cortona Family!
On September 3rd Cortona Academy celebrated the first of their weekly parties, potlucks, and cook-offs scheduled for the ’24-25 school year.
In the Academy’s Great Room, Founder, Sharon Peruzzi Strauchs, began by welcoming new students to the entire Cortona student body. “We are the family behind every student’s family. After this past year, what family doesn’t celebrate absolutely everything positive that may be happening?”
The eagerness Cortona students experience at both onsite and offsite parties defines Cortona Academy. Cortona’s philosophy is that learning should be a positive and welcoming experience that fosters a longing for knowledge.
Weekly parties also celebrate every student’s achievement and effort. For the past 32 years of Cortona’s history of serving students in grades 4 -12, it is Cortona’s relaxed, happy, encouraging environment that directly correlates with each child’s educational results.
Not only do such celebrations encourage students to feel that they are a necessary part of Cortona Academy, but most importantly, they also help solidify friendships, ensuring that each child will form relationships to support them well beyond graduation.
