Usually when an establishment is still in operation after 132 years, it is a testament to that establishment’s tradition and success. But along with carrying on tradition, an establishment must also be able to adapt to certain changes that may be necessary in order to further maintain success.

Saint Monica Catholic Academy is pursuing such a change heading into the 2021-22 school year, as they are presenting their “No Barriers To God’s Blessings” campaign in order to provide an affordable Catholic education to those seeking to have their children brought up in a faith-based educational environment with no social or denominational boundaries.

Jennifer Villa is the principal at Saint Monica Catholic Academy–located on 10th Street in Beaver Falls–and she joined Matt Drzik on A.M. Beaver County to talk about the upcoming school year. The conversation centered around the benefits of a Catholic education, including the lack of disruption from the “oustide world” in order to generate a more focused combination of faith learning and curriculum that incorporates STEM.
