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.
