FEIA is built for students who want more: strong academics, elite sports, and future-focused programs in a supportive community.
“FEIA is more than a school. It’s a place where students are known, supported, and encouraged to become their best selves.”
Whether they’re arriving from around the corner or around the world, every student here is part of a community that feels like family. We believe in meeting students where they are and guiding them toward who they’re meant to become.

Graduating with Purpose
At Fort Erie, graduation is more than a milestone—it’s a launch. Our students don’t just earn diplomas; they earn confidence, clarity, and next steps they’re excited about.
Whether they’re pursuing business, engineering, health sciences, arts, or elite athletics, our graduates leave prepared for wherever they’re headed next—and grounded in who they are.
