The Academy of the Most Blessed Sacrament develops well-rounded students by offering challenging academics in a nurturing environment. In addition to the core curriculum (math, science, reading, language arts, social studies), daily Religious education and cursive hand writing, all students Pre-K to 8 study art & design, music, physical education/health, STREAM, Spanish and Technology. As children progress through the grade levels, a cumulative experience in modes of instruction and expectations is employed.
Technology is integrated across the curriculum to make teaching and learning more meaningful and engaging. This includes SMART Boards and usage of Google Classroom, along with Chromebooks and iPads. AMBS has a Learning Center in the Cottages which facilitate cooperative learning utilizing today's technology.
