The school has also adopted a lot across from the school, which serves as a community garden for the entire neighborhood with plots for families to grow their food. Exemplifying a vision of academic excellence, the school is implementing project-based learning in alignment with the Maryland College and Career Readiness Standards in addition to Wit & Wisdom, City Schools’ adopted curriculum in English language arts. In support of City Schools’ student wholeness initiative, The Fort is a restorative practices intensive site focusing on the social and emotional wellness of all scholars and their families.
