School Reviews
5 9/20/2024
We conducted extensive research when we decided that our son would benefit best from being in a military boarding school environment. After meeting with MMA over the phone and in person (the first school on our list to explore), we didn't look any further. We definitely made the right decision! Our son started at MMA last year at the beginning of the second semester (5-day then to 7-day). This is his first full academic year (he's a 7-day student). We are well-pleased with the school! It is just what he needed to thrive. Structure, discipline, smaller class sizes, and more! The campus is great and the teachers and administrators truly care about the students and their total well-being and academic achievement. Our son is well-rounded and enjoys playing football this year! MMA is also helping to nurture his leadership skills. We also appreciate activities and field trips planned and executed at MMA. We can't say enough about the diverse, nurturing, caring, and safe environment. We highly recommend MMA and are welcomed as engaged parents.
