I think MSA is a great school because of the community. I've never had any problems, nor have I heard of anyone else having problems. I have great friends here. Plus, it is also a very academically good school. I've talked about and compared school curriculums with friends from other schools, and I like MSA's system better. Student, 10th grade
Excellence is expected of both students and staff, and they are all given the tools and support that they need to achieve that excellence. MSA teacher

Everyone fits in! MSA teacher
My child found a place where he could learn without the fear of being teased or bullied. MSA parent
I love the relationships! The students and the parents of the students want to be at MSA, so they are invested. The kids respect each other and form strong friendships, and the parents of the kids also form strong friendships. I also love the opportunity my children have at MSA. They can be a part of the play, be in computer club, play basketball, and more. Because the student population is small, my children have an opportunity to make a difference. MSA parent
The connections between students and teachers and the passion the teachers feel for their subjects make MSA stand out as a great school. Student, 10th grade .

Like a home school only not directed by parents - but people that care just as much! MSA has everything to keep educating kids the focus - we couldn't ask for more! Thank you! MSA parent
You know everyone in your grade, you know a lot of them for a good amount of years so it feels like some of them are your family, it prepares you for college and the future. Student, 11th grade
The thing that strikes me about MSA is that the families WANT to be here and the students WANT to learn. We have very high expectations academically and behaviorally and the students meet those expectations. The staff and teachers are excellent and go above and beyond to help students. The small class sizes allow teachers to really get to know students which has a positive effect in both academic achievement and lifelong relationships. MSA teacher
Kids feel challenged and the school creates an environment to explore ideas. MSA parent
It gives you a higher education than public schools. For example, I'm taking Chemistry in 10th grade while my friends at another school are taking Biology (which I took last year). Student, 10th grade
Everyone is so nice and the teachers are always willing to work with you. Student, 12th grade
We appreciate the small size classrooms and how each teacher cares for each student. Bigger schools do not see the individual student. MSA parent
MSA is not just a school; we're a community! MSA teacher
There is a culture of celebrating intelligence and uniqueness. I think my kids could easily have been the type to end up picked on and lonely at many high schools, but instead they thrived at MSA. And my kids who have gone on to college were very well prepared - college homework and content wasn't a big leap for them. MSA parent
I like MSA because it is a small school with a very family-like environment. It has amazing teachers who I feel like I can approach and ask anything and the students are usually very kind and aren't disruptive like other schools. Student, 10th grade
MSA has great and close relationships among fellow classmates and teachers. Student, 11th grade
Because of its diversity. MSA parent
I love MSA because of the class sizes. MSA is much smaller than a typical school, which I found was the best option for me. Having smaller classes means there is more time with teachers and, quite honestly, a better learning environment. Student, 12th grade
The level of teacher, support staff, student and parent support is tremendous. Everyone is committed to encouraging learning and academic success. It truly is a community of learners! MSA parent

MSA provides a close-knit community where most students and teachers are dedicated to learning and forming relationships. Student, 11th grade
MSA's special education department is relentless in its support of students with differentiated needs. We have been so grateful for the wonderful staff that advocate for all children at MSA and meet them where they are. One size does not fit all, and the MSA community has taken steps in recent years to embrace all students' strengths and challenges. MSA parent
You really get the feeling that many teachers want to help you and care about your education. Teachers like Ms. Rosemann and Srta. Anderson truly make learning more enjoyable, and a good experience.Student, 10th grade

We challenge our students to do their very best, and we have the highest academic expectations. We value diversity, and we embrace every student and staff member for who they are. MSA teacher
