Maria Montessori Charter Academy

My son go's there he likes it a lot I recommend putting your children in this school

I have been going to MMCA for over 7 years now and it is honestly the best school there is! The teachers are amazing there and will help you with many questions you have! I also love how my classes are by color instead of numbers and letters! If you are moving to the area and is checking out this school I would recommend and I think your child would have a great time! - Clara

As a former student of MMCA, I'd give this a 4 out of 5. I remember when I went there for the first time in preschool, I wasn't really used to people. I have to admit, I got used to the school in kindergarten when a kind girl helped me to the person I am today. Because of the school policies and qualities, I'm still friends with this girl today. I went there for around seven years, I left when I was ten years old (basically in forth grade.) I cant believe that the things that happened to the school happened to me when I was younger. Let me get into my review and not the story of when I was here, first, the classes are amazing, yes the teachers can be a bit harsh when your doing something your not supposed to do but overall I love and miss this school. The ecosystem made in this school was very interesting and I'm glad to had witnessed growing. Today, February 6th, 2021, I'm 11, I'll be 12 in May of 2021. I truly do miss this school, all of the memories I had here with the teachers and the students were amazing. I wish I could go to this school longer but it was time to go. If my teachers could see me now that I'm all grown up into something I'd never think I was gonna be "smart" I'd wanna thank them for the childhood they gave me. Teachers, if your seeing this, this is Reese, you might not remember me but i'll remember you forever. Thank you MMCA, for teaching me the things I know today. -Sincerely, Reese, a former student.

We love MMCA. I moved my daughter here in third grade after an absolutely miserable experience with a teacher at her old school in the Dry Creek School district and I'm so glad I did! She has loved the transition from traditional classes where the teachers drone on at the head of the class for six hours a day to being given the freedom to do her work pretty much on her terms. She's learning the value of time and the responsibility to complete her tasks before the deadline. Every student is given a learning program tailored to their particular comprehension and skill level. This was great for my kiddo because she was being held back at traditional school. She had to go at the pace of the slowest kid and now she can work at the level that suits her best. They're giving the freedom to do their work in whatever order they'd like just as long as it's completed by the allotted time. It's been a game changer for my daughter. It took some getting used but once she got the hang of it's been smooth sailing. The school is small, really small and so are the classes. There are no more than 17 kids per teacher and there are two teachers in every classroom (combined grade classrooms are great). Individual attention is given to those who need it most and the independent kids can be just that, independent and free to work at their own pace. She's made real connections here and is happily staying through eighth grade. This is a great school if you want to go the untraditional route. Most of the teachers are fantastic and the principle is dialed in to the kids and their needs. Get on the waiting list, you won't regret it!!

MMCA preschool is exceptional. I have sent my son here this past year and he learned so much- not only academically but socially as well, which was a huge deal for him. He is more than prepared to start kindergarten now because of the love and attention he received from his teachers at Childrens house MMCA preschool. Any time I had a question or concern the teachers helped immediately and there was improvement immediately as well. My older children attended different preschools and I wish I had the foresight to send them here. An excellent school to set your child up for success in learning, a loving community and fun (but also serious) atmosphere!

i'm currently a student here, and it uh, it sucks. there's a giant problem with people being called slurs with no repercussions and a lot of homophobia and transphobia from students. theres also a problem with white kids using the n slur. the teachers are pretty hit or miss, some can be really nice, and some can make your kid cry. i realize i should probably elaborate on the last bit. basically i have an anxiety disorder and some teachers don't really acknowledge that? like they randomly call on people in class and humiliate students when they get a question wrong. they also just have a hard time understanding students overall. the school is also.... extremely money hungry. instead of providing more money to classrooms so teachers can stop paying out of pocket, giving teachers raises, getting an actual nurse and nurses office, and stuff like that they want to drop 13k on an electric sign that you can't even see in the day. also my i used to have all a's, since coming here i have f's and d's in every class. and thats not just my fault- its partly the schools. i ask for help and don't get it. i ask clarification and don't get it. because im not "the good kid" (aka im new and my grades aren't the best) none of the teachers care about me and brush me off. i also apologise for the formatting!!! it's easier on my eyes.

Excellent School!
