We are second year parents at STMA. We have been just amazed at the warm and caring community this school has to offer. We toured the other Upper Moco and Frederick offerings but decided STMA was the right choice. Parents are always welcomed. Not so much at the other schools. My kids are doing very well there and just LOVE the school. We have been so happy here. STMA is a get fit for us.
STMA is a great school, full of good people and nice teachers. It offers great classes, nice class sizes, and a great education system. If you want a school that has great educational programs, good people, and a safe learning enviornment with no worry of bullying, this school is for you.
STMA is an amazing school. Most of the teachers are loving and caring, and know what they are doing. The principal is an excellent tutor for these aspiring students. The Seventh Grade are the most well behaved, golden-children I know. I love this school
This school is very weak in all areas. My children have learned more in public school. Teachers and administration have left and the founder will not let parents know the reasons behind it. Thumbs down!
STMA is a warm and welcoming school that provides low student to teacher ratios and solid education in the primary grades. There is a strong sense of Christian faith in the leadership and the children who attend the school. No question this young school is going through growing pains both organizationally and financially, but that has not diluted the positive learning environment in the lower grades.
STMA is a very small school for those who like to know their children are not lost in the crowd. However, the academics are very weak and leadership is lacking. PreK is the best program in the school. Middle school is terribly weak. If you are seeking a private or catholic school, there are better options in Frederick County and beyond.
STMA needs better leadership. It is not consistant with any guidlines of any kind I know of. There are just a lot of warm bodies teaching there.
STMA is a wonderful school where there is a true Christian environment and enthusiasm to learn!
