ST. LOUIS, MO. July 1, 2016 –Access Academies would like to welcome Mrs. Mary Loux as the new principal at St. Cecilia School & Academy.
For the past several years, Mary Loux has served the students at St. Cecilia School & Academy, first as a Jesuit Volunteer then as an educator teaching reading and writing. Before assuming her new role as principal, Loux taught Mathematics for grades 6, 7, and 8, and worked as the Access Academies school-based Academy Director. She is fluent in Spanish and holds her Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and a Master of Arts in Instruction from St. Mary’s University in Minnesota. Later this month she will graduate with her Master of Arts in Educational Leadership from the University of Notre Dame.
St. Cecilia School and Academy, located at 906 Eichelberger Ave., has been an institution in South St. Louis since its founding in 1908. It offers a non-tuition based education for students in grades Kindergarten through 8th grade through the support of the St. Louis Archdiocese, the Today and Tomorrow Foundation, and Access Academies.
Students in Kindergarten through Fifth Grade receive a strong academic base due to a carefully cultivated curriculum that offers:
- Small class sizes
- Instruction in core subject areas
- Technology integrated into instruction and learning
- After school tutoring and mentoring
- Enrichment activities
Upon entering middle school, students are enrolled in the school-based Access Academy program, which:
- Extends the school day and school year to provide additional academic support. This includes a robust academic curriculum, homework assistance, service projects, and enrichment.
- Encourages family involvement to further support the physical, social, emotional, and academic well-being of each student.
- Eases the transition to high school and into college through graduate support. This includes, but not limited to, tutoring, mentoring, academic scholarships, and monitoring each student’s individual academic growth and achievement through high school and into college.
