What clubs does Momentum host?

  • Robotics Club

Are the scholars required to wear a uniform? What is the uniform?

All scholars are required to wear a school uniform consisting of navy blue pants, shorts, or skirt and a Momentum Academy polo shirt. Our elementary-age scholars wear a purple polo shirt, while our upper academy scholars wear a white polo shirt. 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.

I can’t find solid black shoes. Can my scholar wear shoes that are not solid black?

We prefer for scholars to wear solid black shoes with black socks because it is the most uniform look and helps avoid distractions during the school day. However, if you are unable to acquire a solid black pair, please contact the Dean of Scholars at your scholar’s school. The Dean of Scholars will make the final determination on acceptable shoes.

What athletics teams are offered at Momentum Academy?

Momentum Academy offers a variety of athletic opportunities for our scholars including:

  • 3rd/4th grade basketball (co-ed)
  • 5th-8th grade girls’ basketball and boys’ basketball
  • K-1st, 2nd/3rd, 4th/5th grade soccer for boys and girls
  • 6-8th grade girls’ volleyball
  • 3rd-5th grade girls on the run
  • 3rd-8th grade girls dance and poms squad

Our elementary athletics are run through the YMCA and our Upper Academy athletics teams are part of the St. Louis City Charter School Athletics League.

How large are the class sizes at Momentum Academy? What is the student/teacher ratio?

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 20:1 for core subjects in Lower Academy and up to 25:1 for Upper Academy. 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.
