Become a Momentum Family

Families choose us because they know we will partner with them to help their scholar become the absolute best they can be, inside and outside of the classroom.

Why Momentum? It’s simple, really.

There are many reasons why you should become a Momentum Family, the main being the fact we meet families where they’re at. We do this by learning each scholar’s unique needs and abilities and partnering with families to make sure that their scholar’s learning is individualized and goes beyond the walls of our schools. We do this because we care about every scholar’s success, and we believe everyone should have a stake.

Scholars should wear solid color shoes and may wear sweaters or sweatshirts in solid, school colors.

We require our scholars to wear a uniform to help keep their focus on their academic tasks. Our uniforms unite us as a school community and promote school unity.

There is a fee for both before and after-school care. We work with families to ensure that their scholars are able to access any services they need regardless of the cost.
