Maven has offered our daughter an individualized educational experience with a safe environment to express her opinions and be respected by her peers and teachers. She appreciates the small class size that allows everyone to participate at their own level. We changed over to TMA during my daughter's sophomore year. TMA welcomed her, assessed her abilities, and placed her in a secure learning environment that has fully nurtured her education along with her confidence. We could not be happier with the choice to break free from the mass educational system.

I was a homeschooled mom with 2 kids that wanted an alternative to homeschooling and public school. We couldn't afford private school. The Maven Academy was a welcome option where my kids thrived. I appreciate the individualized and personal learning experience. The teachers were great and Gina truly cares about the students. I would highly recommend the Maven Academy!

The Maven Academy has been such a blessing to our family. The schedule at TMA allows us the flexibility we want while offering the kids a solid, affordable education with the opportunity for social interaction and growth. The small size is perfect for our kids as it allows for friendships with younger and older students, and the teachers can quickly pick up on the strengths and weaknesses of each student. The teachers they've had along the way have been top-notch, and Gina Vogel goes above and beyond in her duties as chief administrator. I'm thankful to have found this school.

Truly a wonderful school with amazing students and staff. Maven was OPEN during the 2020 school shutdown, providing students with an excellent in-person learning experience. This is a very small school (20 students) so teachers are able to get to know each student as an individual and work with them to help them achieve their goals. Advanced students are challenged and struggling students are given the necessary tools, accommodations, and instruction to make progress. Education is not one size fits all and Maven understands that.

We are relatively new to the school and it fits our lifestyle well. We like that our child can attend full-time which means three days/week with hw the other two days. The school offers classes in the core academic subjects required in Maryland. The tuition is reasonable and enrichment classes are offered. Because of the short school day and lack of nearby public transportation, it will only be an option for those who have a flexible schedule to drive their student. We plan to stay through high school.

We are relatively new to the school and it has been a great fit for our family. I would classify this as a hybrid school. You can attend full-time which means three days a week, with work to do at home, the other days or combine classes with homeschooling or community college. The core academic classes are offered: math (self-paced), social studies/history, science and Language Arts. Enrichment classes are offered at extra cost after school on a semester basis. Im addition, credits can be given to HS students for activities outside of school. We plan to stay through HS.

My student attended the program before it became a Private school and it changed his life! I''m so excited to learn of the Private school status as I know this will change the lives of many students from many different academic backgrounds. I can not say enough about how much comfort they brought my son and how much personal attention he received. I would definitely recommend!
