MAA was a place where I always felt supported as a student, and that encouragement inspired my love of learning. Some of my closest friendships began here in nursery and have lasted through milestones like weddings and beyond. Now, as a teacher, I have the privilege of working alongside many of the same teachers who shaped me into the learner and educator I am today. Returning to MAA felt natural because I want to give my own students the same experience I was so fortunate to have.

We are new to MAA this year and have been welcomed with open arms on every front. It already feels like home for our kids and us. Everything from top to bottom has been very impressive - from proactive communication from administration and teachers, engaging and fun community events, other parent interactions, the intentionality and engagement of the teachers, the inclusion of fundamental religious and value-based education, the kids learning and enrichment, the after-school program, and the list goes on. You can tell that all of the faculty at the school, administration and teachers, care about their work and the students. The kids are excited to go to school every day, and we are excited to be able to drop them off at a place we all truly love. We are very thankful to have found MAA.

MAA is a small, caring community. The teachers and administration know each student intimately. It is reassuring to hear updates about your child, not just from their homeroom teacher, but from various other adults in the school. To know that my child is seen and valued each day in all the big and small moments is wonderful. The different points of contact throughout the day not only support the students in their academic pursuits, but it also demonstrates to them that they are loved and cared for.
