STEM Program
SMMA Math classes include groupings according to test scores so that individual students can move at their own pace. SMMA is equipped with innovative labs where students can engage in and explore science, technology, religion, engineering, arts and math. SMMA boasts an innovative computer lab and a full time Technology Coordinator on staff. Students frequently use MacBooks and the Internet in support of the educational and moral objectives of the school
Enrichment
The Middle School enrichment program is a supplementary educational program designed to enhance students' academic experience and encourage student choice along with a love of learning. It is not a replacement for the core curriculum, but rather an addition to it. These activities allow students to design, create and learn about topics of interest to them that lie outside of the traditional classroom setting. Some past offerings include photography, cooking, drawing, gardening, drama and fitness.
Technology
Through the continued generous support of the parish, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque students and teachers enjoy a technologically enhanced learning environment. Skills in computers, coding, robotics, and more await each student as they learn in a supportive, collaborative atmosphere. SMMA is also an Apple School, with the G Suite for Education. The Innovation Lab - computer lab - studio - makerspace - 3D Printer Students in grades K-8 visit the Innovation Lab on a weekly basis with additional open lab time available to all students and teachers. SMMA’s Technology Program is closely aligned with the ISTE Standards for “learning, teaching and leading in the digital age.”
