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.

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.

I just love how the classes are run and seeing the growth of my son's learning including speaking up. With respect to the curriculum,  we love the hands on teaching.  The materials were shipped in advance and packages are fun to open for each session. My son is very excited about each class and finds it being the highlight of his week.  He looks forward to it each time and raves about it after each class. We are extremely happy with the classes and Ms. Taylor :)

Basic care like bathroom assistance and emotional support was often overlooked. Communication from administration was slow, and any attempt at corrective action only came after multiple efforts on our part to explain the neglect our child experienced. It left us feeling like our child simply wasn't welcome which was incredibly difficult to witness as parents. One kind staff member stood out, but overall, this is not the nurturing or responsive environment we expected or would recommend.

We really feel so comfortable leaving our children there. Management is very good communicating with us when there are things going on we need to be aware of. The app allows us to know what's going on in real time. They also offer the option to view the children in the room which helped us feel more comfortable. Yes it is more expensive than some other options in the area but it's worth it. We've recommended it to a few families in the area.

Ms. Debby coached him into a better person that gave me a good example of how to treat my kids at home too. Another thing that I loved was the family events. Man those are memorable and I am so glad I got my son to experience great father's day, mother's, family nights, picnics, and farm outings.

The instructors are really nice and friendly; they are truly there to help you. They are all completely understanding and know where to start helping you. Although its a pretty big price for the sat class, I personally feel that it is completely worth it. They come up with their own materials (which are really good - they're structured like the actual test but a little harder to push you) and provide a lot of other materials. In the sat package I paid for, I got a Writing class and a English/Math class, all of which were super helpful. The writing class involved a lot of practice writing and practice analysis. The English and Math classes were well structured; It isn't held like a normal SAT intensive program. There are classes and then there are workshops. Overall, I think it is one of the best preps I've attended.
