It is one of our goals to get them excited about their education so they invest in their goals and futures, and make a difference in their communities. New Look, New Vision, Same Focus on our Scholars In 2022, we decided to transition away from our affiliation with the National Eagle College Prep brand. With that move, we gained an opportunity to reorient ourselves in our mission and vision for the future of our school our through a new name and correlating brand. “Momentum” implies a sense of movement, a forward motion that not only reflects the fact that students are moving through grades in school, but also moving toward their goals and greater educational and personal being. It is the role of a school to keep this momentum going, placing students first so that they build character, confidence and community. Mission Vision Momentum Academy promotes academic excellence in an environment of mutual care and support that builds character, confidence and community among all of our scholars so that they reach their full potential. Momentum Academy provides the highest level of academics to prepare the next generation of leaders to move toward greater educational and personal well-being so they can impact their families and communities in positive ways. 720 Scholars Attend Momentum Academy 100% Of scholars go on to attend high school 4 Campuses Across South Saint Louis Our Approach We offer a unique, holistic approach to education that takes into account different learning styles for scholars of all interests and abilities.
