The Mario Umana Academy prides itself on giving students a sense of ownership in the school and local community. We have many opportunities for success that are enhanced by having an expanded day schedule. We encourage students to participate in our free breakfast and lunch program. Our school offers a wide array of experiential learning for our students in conjunction with our community partners, which include: Tenacity, Boston Ballet, Zumix, East Boston Neighborhood Health Center, Waypoint Adventure, and the Society of Latino Engineers and Scientists. We are able to partner with so many organizations because of the flexibility within our daily schedule and our commitment to providing a wide range of opportunities for learning to our students. In addition, our student population is comprised of 52% English Language Learners, and also includes a highly specialized strand of intellectually impaired students. Special opportunities for students: At the Umana, we expect all of our students to succeed. We model our school on the AVID approach and build strong organizational routines for students to take with them as they move through their academic years and life. A wide array of academic programs and supports, such as Study Island or First in Math, broaden students’ experiences and reinforce their academic skills. The expanded day schedule, which adds 10 additional hours to the school week, allows us to provide these and other enrichment programs. Utilizing the Achievement Network (ANET) and district assessments, we look at data regularly to monitor student academic progress, and are implementing the Academic Achievement Framework to ensure that not only are our students’ academic needs being met but their behavioral and emotional needs as well. After-school/extra-curricular and sports opportunities: Students can participate in a wide variety of sports and extracurricular activities as part of the school day. These include: soccer, swimming, tennis, dance, a Future Cities engineering competition and much, much more.
