I started my oldest daughter here 7 years ago, blessed to add a second along the way. We could not be happier with the quality and rewards of this faith based education. The environment created by the Principal, teachers and Church and community is a positive, family like, safe and caring environment. I would highly recommend to anyone for all grade levels.

My kids (5yrs old) have attended MTC for the past 2 years, and they couldn't be happier. They come home laughing and bubbly, and never want to leave their friends. The class sizes are kept small to enhance that deep connection between student and teacher. The teachers are caring, personable, and experienced. They actually care about teaching the whole child, and not just the academics. The learning process is all about being hands on - so the students can really experience and understand. The teachers bring the lessons to life - and make it not only educational, but exciting for the students. It truly is a family community at MTC, not just a school. Each student and every teacher in the building knows my kids. I couldn't be more pleased!

MTC is an excellent school and community of children and parents. The academic programs are very strong with a very strong faculty and equally dynamic administration team. Music, arts and sports are available to the children even to the extent of a specific Art Club designed for students in grade 6 - 8. There is also a good basic music program and also instrument lessons available to children in the school across various instruments including a bell choir. Sports across various disciplines are offered through the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) in softball, basketball, volleyball and track. There is also a variety sports program for the younger kids who may not be old enough to join one of the other sports programs offered in the fall to get a feel for the various types of sports programs available. There are also honors programs for the children who earn the appropriate grades required and year end awards given out in a few categories at a ceremony held in our church. Athletic awards are given out at the annual sports banquet and with some sports, even during the last meet (specifically I know this to be true for track). Certain sporting events also have regional finals which children may attend based on their achievements during the season. MTC is a fantastic school which will enrich your child/children in a variety of ways. I can't say enough about the school overall!!!

I've had 3 boys enrolled at Mtc. All had varied learning needs and abilities. Mtc was able to meet the needs of each of my students. The current curriculum includes Engineering, Health, Newspaper and the Arts. There are Honors programs as well as Learning Support provided by a Special Education Specialist. It is a wonderful community!!!
