FAQs

What types of bottoms are permitted?

Solid Navy Blue Shorts, Skirts, Pants, and Jumpers are permitted but not available for purchase on the school online store.

*Navy Sweaters are also permitted

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

We have a shortened schedule on Fridays to accommodate weekly teacher and staff professional development. Our staff members receive additional training and development each week and are also given the opportunity to collaborate with their colleagues during that time.

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 is the school day schedule?

Our academic school day is from 8:00am-3:15pm, Monday-Thursday, and from 8:00am-2:00pm on Fridays.

Breakfast is available each day from 7:30am-8:15am.

Is before and after school care available? What are the hours and the cost?

Yes! Momentum Academy does provide before and after-school care options for our scholars.

Our before-school care program is run and supervised by our school staff members. Scholars may be dropped off for before-care beginning at 6:30 am. After-school care is available, on-site, at each Momentum Academy campus and is open from the end of the school day until 6:00 pm.

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.
