Why our Academy: A Smart Investment

• A Catholic school education is worth the cost. Your child’s tuition is an investment which pays a lifelong dividend. We focus on educating the WHOLE child – mind, body, and soul.
• Tuition cost is supplemented by our supportive parish, so the Catholic community shares the cost of education. The current cost to educate each student is around $6,000. Thanks to the help of our wonderful parishioners, you only have to pay a fraction of that cost!
• At SM/MCA, safety is a top priority! Our school features security doors with intercom systems and many cameras with 24-hour camera surveillance. We also work closely with the local police department for routine walkthroughs and community building activities. 
• In addition to a strong program in the “basics,” as well as challenging programs for gifted students, Catholic schools add the significant “plus” of religious, moral, and spiritual development.
• Standardized test scores and a college acceptance rate of over 80% reflect that our students are self-disciplined, self-motivated, responsible and creative.
• In Catholic schools, there is a mutual respect which exists among students, faculty, and administrators which generates an atmosphere of care and concern.
• The opportunity for dual enrollment for our 8th grade students at Cardinal Mooney in math.
• Our teachers are state certified and highly qualified. They work with each student to help them excel academically and spiritually.
• We offer many extracurricular activities at our school! Students can participate in sports, arts/drama, academic clubs, leadership opportunities, and much more! See the ABOUT tab for more details.
• What is the most popular response when we asked families their favorite thing about our school? Families love the small class sizes and individualized attention their child(ren) receive!
• New families have an opportunity to try our school at a discounted rate! Please see our tuition page for more details.
