How is SCCA different than other Catholic schools?

Now, more than ever, we are called to learn about, receive and share Christ's message: on a personal level, within our families and school community, as well as the community in which we live.  Our world is evolving quickly, often outpacing itself.  At a critical time for Catholic schools, South City Catholic Academy steps in as The Renaissance in Catholic Education. In an effort to preserve, sustain and boost enrollment, SCCA combines a few parish schools in a new model.  Some of our most notable differences, among others, include: 

  • Governance - SCCA is a partnership model school versus a parish school

  • Creative staffing - SCCA has hired a full-time art teacher, full-time PE/Health instructor and will also feature prominent members of our music community leading the charge with Music and Band.

  • Faith formation - Our faith formation addresses the whole child, whole school, whole community, blending rich traditions with inspiration.

  • Instructional practices- Best practices and growth mindset replace the traditional in our classrooms. Students are prepared for their futures with intense hands-on, minds-on work. Teachers meet the needs of all students with thorough work on curriculum, specific intervention strategies and provide authentic learning opportunities that connect learners to the real world.

  • Voice - student, teacher and parent voice will allow all to contribute to the mission of this innovative, Catholic, school community.

  • Technology - SMART Boards, Flat Panels, iPads and Chromebooks play a large role in our curriculum.
