This is my son's first year at MTA. Can't say enough about the level of attention and dedication that the staff has for the children in this school. I put my child in this school because I recognized that he has the type of personality that requires positive/nurturing attention and I figured a private school would be better suited for him. It was the right choice! His teacher picked up on his personality within the 1st week and has adjusted how she teaches to him. The entire staff is very child focused. They truly care about the children. I have had no issues getting emails or phone calls answered. This has been a very positive experience for my child and ultimately that is all that matters.
My son has been a student at MTA or 4 years! It was the best thing we could've done for his education and personal development. Yes there are kinks that are being worked out at the school. It is fairly new and they are growing. My family moved up here 5 years ago we have a "family" here now. We've made life long friends. My youngest will begin next year. As for our 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Leander is wonderful, nurturing, challenging and inspiring. Thank you MTA!
My son has Mrs. Leander for 2nd grade this year and we are beyond thrilled. We couldn't ask for a more passionate teacher and role model.
I love the idea of this school but after my childs first year, I am disappointed about how unorganized the school is. The teachers I have dealt with and adminstration lack timeliness and accuracy in their distribution of information and bills. They do not answer emails and the office staff is a disaster. Everyone is lovely in manner, but i'm afraid that is not enough.
I strongly disagree with the previous message. My son is in first grade and his teacher is extremely organized. My husband and I have been very pleased with the teacher and found her to be pleasant and professional. It is a shame that the perception of one teacher is tainted on here because of one parent. 5 gold stars to our son's first grade teacher!!! Submitted by a parent
Mother Teresa far exceeded my expectations for a value based, high-level, inspiring educational experience. I am thrilled!
Amazing staff, amazing school!
There's a waiting list for teachers... It is a fabulous school where the principal ensures that the children are learning and the children are loved, nurtured, and educated by the best teachers I have ever seen.
It is a great place to work.. The parents and the staf are wonderful...
The principal and teachers genuinely care about the children and make every effort to encourage the children to be their very best.
