Presentation Scholars' Academy

---

These are the hallmarks of Moore Catholic High School’s newest program for its most academically talented candidates.

Challenge

Named in honor of the Presentation Sisters who served as the original teaching staff at Moore, the Presentation Scholar’s Academy is designed to support the development of outstanding students in an intellectually challenging environment.

The program is also dedicated to developing strong character, a commitment to social justice, and a spiritual foundation that will guide its graduates throughout their lives. PSA teachers learn about their students’ strengths and encourage their finest work. The teachers provide structure, while fostering increased independence.

Rigor

Several courses have accelerated Regents examination schedules. All course material mandated by the New York State Board of Regents is strictly followed. A non-traditional classroom layout fosters a learning environment that can be adapted to the work at hand. Academic excursions are designed to enrich the curriculum. Small class size allows for individual attention. Teachers collaborate daily to present common themes across the curriculum.

Self Directed Learning

Students’ success in the program is based on their ability to take responsibility for their own education and to be able to learn through a variety of activities in each course. Today’s world requires individuals who are self-motivated and understand that learning will be a lifelong journey. PSA provides the tools students will need to meet that challenge. They are offered numerous opportunities to make choices about their learning – to pursue topics and projects of interest and importance to them. The curriculum is structured to inspire a love of learning while encouraging students’ creativity. In short, PSA students will leave with a deep understanding of themselves and their world.
