Mater Dei Academy

This school prepared me so well for high school, especially in math. I took Algebra 1 my 8th-grade year and tested into a combined class of Geometry and Algebra 2 at one of the best high schools in the area. The teachers are fantastic and really care about your growth. The teachers at Mater Dei are better than in high school and that is a rare occurrence. I couldn't have asked for a better elementary and middle school experience.

I have 3 kids attendings MDA. My children have all enjoyed an excellent education. The teachers are easy to work with and the parents are actively involved in the school including PTU and Boosters. My oldest takes 9th-grade level courses and has established a strong core in math achievement, reading/comprehension, and quantitative math that has allowed her to score exceptionally well on the OLSAT, HSPT, and ISEE tests for local Catholic High Schools. The school prepares you well for the next level.

Mater Dei Academy is a school like no other. My children are welcomed and challenged in their classes each and every day. The teachers work very hard to meet the student's individual needs. Students are offered activities to be a part of both in and out of the classroom.

I currently have three children at Mater Dei. I am happy with their experience. All three score above average on their state tests. They have grown and are growing into disciplined, caring, and smart children. Mater Dei has supported my values as a parent and focused on what`s really important for children growing up today. The principal has been really responsive when I`ve had to reach out with any questions or concerns. My children look forward to going to school every day, and that says a lot to me. They are happy, and thriving in this school.

We could not be happier with the solid Catholic education that our children receive at Mater Dei. The positive influence that the teachers and staff have on our children reassures us that we made the correct decision to send them here.

We transferred our two children to Mater Dei Academy (MDA) three years ago because we wanted them to have a more challenging curriculum and to be able to learn in a calm, quiet environment. The parents and students at MDA were very welcoming to our family. I am glad we made the change because our children learning more and the environment is much more orderly than what they were experiencing at their former school. I am very impressed with the quality of teachers at Mater Dei Academy. For example, one teacher contacted me to let me know she noticed a change in my child's behavior from being an active participant in class to quiet and disconnected, and she took steps to help him. If she had not contacted me, I would not have known about the issue. Another teacher tutored my child after school without even being asked to do so. Another teacher has inspired my child to push herself beyond her comfort zone and try new things. I could go on and on about the wonderful teachers at MDA. I also appreciate that all levels of learners are supported at MDA since the school has several different types of aides to give extra assistance to students and they also offer advanced language arts and math to students who are learning above their grade level.
