Montverde Academy

Cannot ask for better mentors for my child in his formative years. I am an extremely pedantic mom, thousands of miles away from the USA. Am so grateful to see how my child has grown in the last couple of years - his mind-set has done a 360deg - and so has his grades. so much credit goes to MVA and its faculty.

I have (had) two children there. One just graduated and the other is in grade 11 (my son). He has a 4.0 GPA. He is not a US resident nor citizen but is there to attend a Golf Academy and attends Montverde Academy under a modified schedule. I recently changed my son to a different Golf Academy and was then told by MVA that because he changed golf academy then he can no longer be under a modified schedule. I signed an agreement with MVA for the past 2 years for education under a modified schedule. No where does it state that his schedule must change if he is no longer a member of the golf academy. This is a separate entity. MVA has now added two additional courses and is in further breach of their course change agreement as per their handbook. We are 4 weeks into the semester. How could they do that? The administrators are cold hearted and do not seek the best interest of their students. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS THERE IF YOU LOVE THEM.

It's like the twilight zone. Sit down and talk to the administrators for a few minutes and you'll see what I'm talking about.l

Silly post. I have a middle school son. Math teacher is not covered in tattoos; she is a very good teacher. Skirts are actually skorts and are fine. I am in car line everyday and haven't seen any out of control PDA...quite the contrary. School is quite conservative but very diverse in composition. Strong leadership in Middle School. My son was at another prep school for two years before MVA and leadership was a revolving door. Its refreshing to have a Headmaster and Administration who have been here for 10+ years and don't allow parents to bully each other or teachers. MVA has been around for almost 100 years...speaks a lot for a school.

My daughter attends this school and I believe they talk a good talk but do nothing but that! The Math teacher in middle school is covered in Tattoos & talks on her cell in class all while walking bare footed. The high school students hug and kiss on the grounds. Skirts are too short! Academic are okay not as strong as they should be for waht u pay!

I am a student currently attending Montverde. I could not ask for a better school to spend four years at. The dorm life is great, the teachers are motivative and want us to want to learn. The curriculum is challenging and has many options for classes. In regards for college preparation, graduating here will be the best thing I could have done for my future.

If you are looking for a school for your children, this is not the right school. I went to the school for an year, well the teachers dont care about the students and their personality. Especially in the Dorm, I do not have to explain, it is not good. Not A Good School not good

If you are looking for a school with a challenging curriculum, this is NOT it. Very limited in choices offered to upper level level students.

Not a good transition from the lower school to the upper school. Lots of who who s attitude. Lower school principal great. Upper school is completely different. Amazing to preach to these teens about charter when certain teachers are practices nothing even close. Role models are very important and when you re paying you expect nothing but the best.

My child started PK3 at Montverde Academy this fall. We love the school and educational environment. The teachers are excellent. There is a real focus on community and good citizenship -- something lacking in many schools today.
