I have no idea why this specific Fortis location isn't on Yelp. I've seen other Fortis locations…read morelisted, but they have different addresses, so to be clear, this review is for the Fortis Institute located at 450 N Sam Houston Pkwy E, Ste 200, Houston, TX 77060. I attended this school for the Medical Assistant program to work toward becoming a CCMA (Certified Clinical Medical Assistant). At the beginning, my experience was okay and I didn't have many issues with my classes or instructors. However, as I got further into the program, my experience started to change. There were three staff members in particular that I had issues with. 1. Ms. Marin: I later found out that she would talk about me and my friends, and there were times when she would call us out in front of the entire class in a way that made us feel singled out or less than everyone else. I don't think students should be made to feel embarrassed in front of their classmates, especially by an instructor. 2. Ms. Nun: Whenever I had class with her, I felt like we barely learned anything. I specifically remember my friends and I asking if we could go through the skills list and practice different things to see what we still remembered and what we needed more help with. We were trying to make sure we were actually prepared, but our request was basically ignored and we barely practiced anything. 3. Ms. Moxcley: Toward the end of the program, we were told that we would receive assistance with finding employment. I remember reaching out to her multiple times about finding a job, but I would either receive no response or very little communication. Because I wasn't getting anywhere, I recently contacted Ms. Goss for help finding an MA position. I explained that I'm specifically interested in working as a Medical Assistant in an OB/GYN clinic. She told me she would call me. When she called, I happened to be busy and missed it, but I returned her call shortly afterward. She didn't answer, so I sent her a message letting her know I had called back and was available. This happened Tuesday. By Friday, I still had not received a response to any of the messages I sent afterward. I finally sent another message, and she responded saying she would call me "momentarily." I waited about two hours and still did not receive a call. That is what finally pushed me to leave this review. One of the things students are told is that Fortis will help them with employment after completing the program. In my experience, once you're finished with the school, getting that help has been extremely frustrating. Messages go unanswered, communication is inconsistent, and the employment assistance I was told I would receive has not been what I expected. I also don't understand the point of asking students what area they want to specialize in as an MA if the positions they are being directed toward aren't related to what they said they were interested in. I understand that nobody can guarantee you a specific job, but there is a difference between not being able to guarantee employment and simply not communicating with a former student who is actively asking for assistance. I completed my program and I'm genuinely trying to start my career and put my education to use. I'm not asking anyone to hand me a job. I'm asking for the career assistance and communication that we were told would be available to us. Unfortunately, my experience trying to receive that assistance has been extremely disappointing.

Dear reader, I was so excited to have my son join the preschool school section of FAS ( French…read moreAmerican school). In June 2023, I reached out to the director of enrollment who came across as if she was going to sincerely assist me with this process. Six months later, I haven't received any decision regarding the enrollment. I reached out multiple times and was told the following is impacting the enrollment : vacations time, school's busy time, staff's busy time all with periods of no communication and I as a parent had to reach out multiple times to request for status. Finally I was given the opportunity to bring my 29 month old child for a class evaluation ( I was told evaluation was to see how my 2 year old without me being there will interact with other 2 -3 year olds and see if /when my 2 year old get upset if he can be comforted by the teacher). I brought my child in, please note this is the FIRST time my child is being exposed to everyone in the classroom. A few mins after I left I heard my son cry - he was realizing I was gone. I came back to check in as I was across the classroom and peeked via the small window and no adult was soothing/ comforting my child . I checked again via the window after a few minutes and no adult in the classroom was comforting my child . He was upset walking around the classroom by himself. The third time ( few minutes later) I came back headed to the classroom room. A separate teacher from another classroom was bringing my distressed child to me from his classroom as my child was apparently trying to get away. Kindly note that I was literally across the hall from the classroom. Please note that there was a teacher and a teacher's aide in the classroom where my son was. This broke my heart, I typically do not give any reviews but this is one I felt so compelled to give as I could only imagine what my son felt and had I not witnessed this experience I would have been none the wiser. This was my breaking point. I decided NOT to enroll my child in this school and move onto another school and will recommend anyone reading this to think twice about this school. I truly genuinely wanted to love this school as I believe in the idea of having a multilingual education and exposing my child to other cultures early in life. But after that experience by my child, the goal of experiencing multi language can be attained somewhere else, my child needs to be somewhere he feels safe and if he is upset he will be seen and soothed with care and I can also feel assured he is safe. In case the reader is wondering, I reached out to the director of enrollment and communicated my and my child's experience on that fateful "evaluation " day, I got an apology for my feelings and child's feelings she did not address anything else. I cannot say if this is the only time that a potential parent and child interested in this school experienced this encounter. I feel so strongly and so passionately to give this review as that was my experience and I will want to know as a parent of a young child, if I was interested in this school to have this honest review ahead of time. I wish I had this information going in. Since the young ones cannot speak up, parents don't be too far away and be available to check in to see the real experience your little one is receiving. If this is the school you feel compelled to send your little one. In summary, if I can give less than ONE star or zero star I will give it. Disappointment and hurt do not begin to express my feelings especially with the way my child was treated. I wish I was the one who was treated that way instead of my child.

My infant started there December 1, 2025 and we were touring other schools by the end of the month…read more They do not send photos or notes about the child's day. You cannot enter the building. When you call and no one answers (they rarely answer) it does not even say Tomorrow's Stars. An automated recording will just say you've called and lists the phone number. I brought up my worries about not knowing how my child's day was and said I would be satisfied with a note or a photo a day and I was told they'll try. I received three photos and zero notes in the span of two months. I'm a teacher who has worked in daycares. I know it's busy and understaffed. Their communication is nonexistent unless they want to remind you to bring money in for some event. I was never told they were closed for two weeks at the end of December until the day before my child started. I understand infants are tough, but I received one art project in two months. My child was bit twice (within the span of a month...with 2 weeks off!) and when my husband went to pick up and ask for the incident form he was told "ask your wife." . I guess they thought he was going to ask what happened when they already called me, but it's just the environment for me and I cannot recommend it to anyone.

The coaches lied and the faculty that was handling the problem to resolve did nothing. All the coaches and the faculty did was call the students involved and the parents of the students liars. I thought that the purpose of the faculty and the teachers was to help guide, mentor and show them how to become better individuals for the grown-up world. The teachers, the faculty and the coaches here are a joke. The information they post within their school and on their website about a "no bullying" policy is a lie. I graduated from this high school and I am truly embarrassed to say that I wore the colors Orange and Black.

I'm writing this to share an honest experience for other families who may not fully understand how…read moreprivate school policies can impact them during difficult times. My children attended this school and were happy there. It was the only school they had known, and they had built relationships, routines, and a sense of stability within that environment. When our family experienced financial hardship due to job loss, we were no longer able to meet the tuition requirements. As a result, our children were asked to leave. I understand that private schools operate as businesses and rely on tuition. However, what was difficult was the lack of flexibility, support, or transition planning for the children. The process felt abrupt, and there was little acknowledgment of the emotional impact on them. For young children, being removed from their school environment is not just a logistical change, it's a significant emotional disruption. That part did not seem to be considered in how the situation was handled. I'm sharing this so other parents are aware: If your financial situation changes, there may be limited options, and the outcome can be immediate. If you are considering this school, I would encourage you to ask detailed questions about: -financial aid policies during unexpected hardship -transition support if a family can no longer afford tuition -how the school supports children emotionally in those situations The education itself may be strong, but families should understand the full picture before committing.

We have been a Chapin family for eleven years…read more My older daughter had attended Chapin since pre-k and graduated last year. She was more than ready to take on the challenges of secondary school. Her freshman year was an academic success! Throughout her years at Chapin, she has grown to be an independent, well-rounded individual. She's not afraid to email teachers about assignments, ask questions when she is uncertain about something discussed during class, or voice her opinion about anything. We owe those positive attributes to Chapin. My younger daughter has also attended Chapin since pre-k. She continues to amaze us with how much she's learned in just a short amount of time. We owe that to the excellent Chapin teachers who not only educate their students but also care about their growth and development. My husband and I are excited for my little one to experience all that Chapin has to offer in the coming years. Chapin is an extraordinary school. The decision to send our children here is one of the best decisions that my husband and I have ever made.
