School Reviews

Marlboro Academy has been excellent for our child. She has grown tremendously in character, leadership, and academically. She is far more prepared to enter college and has grown into a great contributing community member. I wish I had known more about this school when our oldest went to school. I highly recommend this establishment if you are looking for an environment that will grow your child as an individual and prepare him or her for the challenging world we live in today. I give FIVE stars!
Endorse Marlboro Academy. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:

- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
