I started going to this school in middle school. It has had a lot of growth since. If I were writing a review then, it wouldn’t be the same. I’ve seen teachers come and go, but I will say that the ones who have been here throughout my education have impacted me positively and helped me through every year. Many of the teachers are willing to work with the students and make the class engaging and fun. The students are amazing at welcoming and greeting every new kid. I will say however, if there is drama, EVERYONE will know, which could be good or bad (this goes for secondary). Bullying and any other incidents are usually handled quickly, and mostly fair. I have loved the community I am surrounded in, and there’s always something to look forward to. I like the games we play every Friday and end of the year, so when things get boring, I can look forward to the end of the week. This school also sticks to the Bible while not making it seem tedious and boring, which makes it enjoyable. Classroom sizes are usually a maximum of about 15 and I would say it’s easy to keep up in most classes. I would recommend. We don’t have prom though!

My wife and I sent our son to this school as a barely age eligible toddler all the way through 6th grade graduation. Biggest mistake of our lives. Not all, but some of the teachers had the temperament of children themselves. And when you are stuck with the same immature teacher for 3 years, it's developmentally harmful. Looking back, I am so sad I ever found this place, as it was a destructive and toxic environment. It's a largely female run organization which in my experience almost had a disdain for the male students which they unfortunately projected onto the girl students. So many of the kids here seemed socially awkward. Many teachers focus on victim culture and activism rather than actual life skills and learning. I remember the day when the grove middle school math teacher complained to me that none of the children coming out of MIR could do basic math. By the way.... I advise against the grove also as it's just more of the same under a different name. I spent a lot of time and money here and I wish I had it all back. I would go with a good public or Christian school over this place any day. And I'm no fan of public schooling.Your school decision is much bigger than you think. Please do your research and don't be sucked in by the pretty grove enveloped campus or the MIR marketing materials. The path you set your child on and the types of people you choose to surround them with, matters more than anything. I could write a big long ranting review of this place, but it doesn't matter as much as just telling you that after the full experience with this school, my recommendation is to look elsewhere. Best of luck to all who read this.

Please don’t go to this school, kids there are so horrible and the education system there is not so good and the administration is pretty weak. I mostly did not like the kids there cus they’re the typa people to leave others out, bully, and make threats, verbal sexual harassment etc. I don’t recommend at all .
