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. Why does Momentum Academy have a shortened school day on Fridays?

Our staff members receive additional training and development each week and are also given the opportunity to collaborate with their colleagues during that time.

At Momentum Academy, our goal is to ensure that each scholar in the classroom is given access to excellent learning opportunities. Our instructional model allows for a student/teacher ratio of approximately 14:1 for core subjects. This model also provides time for individualized practice using blended learning programs. If we experience an increase in class size, TAs may be brought in to assist teachers. Enroll Your Scholar Interested in applying to Momentum Academy?
