Scholar Support

We want to support all of our students while recognizing the unique abilities, experiences, and needs of all scholars. Learn more about how we’re providing special education scholars and non-native speakers the resources they need to thrive.

Momentum Academy provides special education services to eligible students under federal, state and local regulations. Students receive specially designed direct services in order to progress toward annual short- and long-term, educationally relevant goals. These are outlined by the student’s Individualized Education Plan or Individualized Accommodation Plan.

ELL Education Team

The ELL team vows to utilize knowledge and service provided to the homeroom teachers by the ELL team about their students and best ELL practices. Our belief is that collaboration between experts in content with a student focus will create a streamlined and holistic approach to each child’s learning needs.

Gifted Education Program

Gifted students are defined in Section 162.675, RSMo as “students who exhibit precocious development of mental capacity and learning potential as determined by competent professional evaluation to the extent that continued educational growth and stimulation could best be served by an academic environment beyond that offered through a standard grade-level curriculum.”

Momentum Academy follows guidelines for gifted identification required by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, looking at multiple criteria to determine if gifted education services are needed.   Additional information on Missouri Gifted Education can be found here.
