Parent + Family FAQs Learn more about the Momentum experience! FAQs 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.

Our staff members receive additional training and development each week and are also given the opportunity to collaborate with their colleagues during that time. Does Momentum Academy provide transportation to and from school? Momentum Academy does not currently provide transportation for our scholars. Transportation assistance may be available, on an as-needed basis, for our families who are experiencing homelessness, or personal crisis. Families may contact us to see if they qualify for transportation assistance. 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. 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.
