A.C. – High School Graduate
"MMA means coming to school happy, and still being excited to learn in High School."
Omega Student
I absolutely love this school. I transferred here because I was really unhappy in public school, and it completely changed my life. The teachers, students, and vibe of school is amazing. They offer quality education in a family setting. The people here are some of the most amazing I have ever met. If you send your children here, they will grow up educated, intelligent, with a lifelong love of learning.
F.L. – High School
"MMA is like family, we have lots of friends here, and it is warm, peaceful, caring, safe and pet friendly!"
B.M. – Delta, Upper Elementary
“Our school has been a blessing, not just for me, but for many other kids as well, I’m sure. It’s such a welcoming, friendly, and lively environment that makes learning fun and interactive and does its best to meet the needs of each and every student. Smaller numbers per grade can allow for more, stronger relationships and a better sense of security and familiarity in classrooms. Group projects and teamwork are greatly encouraged, and classrooms commonly discuss, resolve, and agree upon things as a whole. Students inherit a lot of skill that can be essential for their future lives, which includes citing in MLA format, cooking, writing a résumé, and public speaking. Overall, I’m so glad my parents can afford to send me to such an amazing school, where I learn so much, form wonderful friendships, and always feel comfortable in my own skin.”
E.L. – High School
"Maria Montessori Academy gives a new perspective on education. One that is not only more effective,but is potentially groundbreaking."
D.J. – High School
"The accepting community around MMA plays a major role in the overall flow of the system. Your gender, religion, skin color, ethnicity, and even the complexion of your pigment; the difference is erased from our heads. It’s in the hearts that matters, no matter where you're at the very atmosphere that surrounds you is can be the change. MMA is the most positive and inviting educational experience that you can obtain, and for that we are all blessed."
P.G. – High School
"I can't tell you how much we appreciate all you do for the school and kids. Rarely is there a day when the kids don't come home happy, or when they can't wait to to get there in the morning."
Sigma and Delta Parents
"Bless you for all the work you do. ...I love your encouragement to have parents in our community look inwards and find their empathy and heart when thinking - and judging - students. I am grateful beyond measure that Lizzy is part of this community, this village. And me too!"
