This school is terrible. The diverse learners hit each other and bully each other and no one is doing anything about it. The principal and assistant principal are dismissing it and not doing anything helpful about it. A diverse learner boy got his face smashed into the wall right by the stairs with no supervision and his tooth got chipped. Do not let your child come here. This is the worst principal I have ever seen and she needs to be fired. They didn’t give the girl who did it any punishment or repercussions. Then she has been bullying the boy for years, she kicked him in his leg and sprained something and tripped him during one of their trips and broke his leg. The teachers tried to cover it up saying he just “fell”. In one of the pictures they send out to parents after trips, you can see the girl trying to hit him and him cowering away. Nobody ever did anything or told anything as to what happened and we had to find out because she chipped his tooth. This school is very dangerous and overall terrible.

the kids dont have plays no mother son father daughter dance no music I think the parents and the community need to get more involved including myself

Overall he loves the school and was mad that he was transferring this year.

If your only requirement it's a cheaper " Christian" education, then this is the school for you. However, if it's actually a quality education you seek for your child, I strongly suggest you go elsewhere! Though the teacher. my child had was ok, she lacked the resources and support from administration to truly make a difference. And I also agree with the previous post that everything is so disorganized! To see real improvement, a change is definitely needed staying. at the top!

Our family has been part of the MPA family since Kindergarten, and my son is now approaching 8th grade. I have truly appreciated MPA’s close-knit community, intentional focus on academics, character development, student choice, and the unique opportunities available to students. MPA focuses on developing the whole child. Their house system builds community and healthy competition, while extracurricular activities, leadership opportunities, Global Week, and student travel encourage students to explore interests, build confidence, and grow in independence. I was initially hesitant about my son traveling , but it has created meaningful experiences and lasting memories for my son. MPA’s staff genuinely care about students’ well-being and growth and have supported my son within the school and as he pursued outside academic and extracurricular opportunities. We are grateful to be part of a community where he is known, supported, and encouraged to become his best self.

My two kids have been going to St walters St Benedict School since Pre-school. I can tell you for free it's one of the best decision we made as a parent. We contemplated changing school because we live far from the school but, the school always out perform themselves in academy, school culture and etc. So we are going to be sticking to the school for a long time. They do have excellent teachers who pay attention to every detail. The school's communication with parents is topnotch. I see improvements on one of my kids this session. My mind is always at peace whenever they are in school knowing they are in good hands.
