Challenge, Rigor and Self-Directed Learning


These are the hallmarks of Moore Catholic High School’s Presentation Scholars Academy for its most academically talented candidates.

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

Several courses have accelerated Regents examination schedules. All course material mandated by the New York State Board of Regents is strictly followed. Academic excursions are designed to enrich the curriculum. Small class size allows for increased individual attention. Teachers collaborate daily to present common themes across the curriculum.

The program is dedicated to developing strong character, a commitment to social justice, and a spiritual and ethical foundation that will guide its graduates’ decisions throughout their lives.
