Over the summer, MTA history instructor Mr. Sragow and English instructor Mrs. Siegfried joined educators from 14 Jewish and Catholic middle and high schools from New York, New Jersey and Los Angeles at the Civic Spirit Summer Institute, an intensive civic education training conference. MTA is proud to be part of the pioneering first cohort of schools revitalizing civic education across the country and is excited to celebrate its second year in the Civic Spirit program, as they shape how 21st century civics is taught in religious middle and high schools in America.
