- Overview of CMA
-
Christa McAuliffe Academy is a comprehensive Kindergartner – 8th grade school. We offer extraordinary opportunities for students of all ages. All of our elementary teachers are trained in the research-based word recognition strategies by LETRS and utilize Heggerty to deliver the instruction. As the students switch from learning to read, to reading to learn, we emphasize higher level thinking skills to deepen their ability to comprehend and inference from the text.
All students in elementary are exposed to a wide variety of exploratory classes throughout the week. We offer STEM, Art, PE, music, drama, and library to everyone. Latchkey is also available before and after school on a first come, first serve basis. 3rd grade – 5th grade students are able to try out for our all-school play in the fall and musical in the spring.
Our middle school instruction is focused around the core: Math, English, Science and Social Studies. Students are also offered a wide variety of exploratory options as well: Orchestra, Band, Vocal Music Choir, STEM, Technology, Robotics, Leadership (JROTC), Art, Drama/Theater, Creative Writing, Novel Studies, and Physical Education. For extracurriculars, we offer athletics to our 7th and 8th graders and have clubs such as Science Olympiad and Wichita Academic League.
