Our Children… Our Future…
The
students
of
St.
Matthias
Catholic
Academy
continue
to
work,
play,
and
pray;
true
to
the
tradition
begun
by
the
School
Sisters
of
Notre
Dame
in
1909.
A
full
curriculum,
grounded
in
Catholic
values,
exposes
every
pupil
to
a
strong
foundation
in
literacy
and
mathematics.
Different
from
many
other
schools,
we
continue
to
offer
content-rich
programs
in
science
and
social
studies,
as
well.
Students
graduate
with
an
understanding
of
geography,
history,
and
the
sciences.
Student
engagement
soars
as
teachers
develop
cross-curricular
units
and
immerse
the
children
in
project-based
learning.
Technology
supports
lessons in all subjects and grade levels.
Our Faith…
Catholic
values
and
doctrine
are
part
of
daily
life
at
St.
Matthias
Catholic
Academy.
You’ll
find
students
experiencing
faith
in
action
as
they
study
the
saints
and
work
on
a
variety
of
service
projects.
Prayer
is
central.
Students
can
be
heard
reciting
the
Angelus
at
noon
and
participating
in
a
variety
of
liturgies,
retreats,
and
prayer
services
throughout
the
year.
Our
Faith
is
intrinsically
tied
to
our
academic
program.
This
is
the
key
to
successful
Catholic Education.
Our Goal…
We
need
partners
to
continue
to
support
our
efforts
to
provide
quality
Catholic
Education
to
the
children
of
Brooklyn
and
Queens.
Please

Today’s
children
face
many
challenges.
A
strong
foundation
in
faith
and
academics
sets
the
stage
for
a
bright
future.

our
students
“reach for the stars”!
