My nephew went to Master's. He was on the honor and had great grades. When he went to public school because he felt it was too easy and the students were unruly, he discovered he was not prepared. He actually had to repeat a course!!! I never imagined that a private school would be below the standards of a public school. Very disappointing. He also felt like the kids were able to run wild ... especially if the parents were financial donors.
We have six children that are in elementary, middle and high school classes at The Master s Academy. We have been a part of TMA for eleven years and are so blessed that our children are receiving an excellent, quality education with a Christ-centered foundation. We know that when they reach graduation, they will be prepared, not only academically for higher education, but also spiritually for the plans that God has for them. We are truly thankful for the many sports that are offered (from kindergarten on up to high school), the outstanding honors and enrichment classes, the weekly chapel and on-site pastor, the growing drama and chorus programs that are available, and for the many scholastic competitions and awards that reinforce high achievement. We also appreciate the awesome teachers that are completely dedicated to teaching the students with a Bible-based curriculum and a love and compassion for each child. The office staffs of both the upper and lower schools also reflect the light of Jesus and are helpful and patient no matter how many times we call with questions and requests. The elementary principal that knows every student by name, the middle school field trips to educational, yet fun, out of state places, and the unique J-term in high school are just some of the unique features of The Master s Academy. We are very proud to be a part of the TMA family.
Master's Academy is not for every child. The student body tends to be unfriendly and are very cliquish. There seems to be a critical atmosphere both in the administration and students. We only experience middle and high school. Some teachers are great, others are not. We had several instances of teachers favoring the kids of big doners. It is common knowledge among the kids that the children of wealthy parents get preferential treatment. All in all it is probably better than many other Christian schools. If your children handle the stiff social atmosphere and feel comfortable there, it is a good fit. If not, it might not get any better. We found the public school our children attended after Master's to be far better both academically and in responsiveness to parents. The administration at Master's is relatively unfriendly. It is unfortunate because there are few Christian schools to choose from.
My nephews go to this school and absolutely LOVE it! The teachers and admin sincerely care about these students and it shows!
