My son attended 1st grade here. His teacher, Ms Friesen, was amazing. She encouraged development and imagination, recognized slower learning spots that needed more attention, and always kept in contact with me on my son's accomplishments as well as any concerns. The principal is very involved with all the kids and pleasantly accessible to parents. Safe environment that encourages community and teaches manners and peer respect. Great anti-bully campaign on a daily basis.

Terrible school. They don't let certain students go to the bathroom because they are transgender, this leads to them having leaky bladders, or becoming dehydrated because they don't want to drink so they don't have to use the restroom. Not only that, but they also always run out of food for students and get mad at them when they throw the disgusting soggy "grilled" cheese sandwiches on the floor, now I don't think throwing the food on the floor is the best approach to the issue, but I can't blame the students for doing it, the food looks and tastes disgusting and often smells bad too. They also refuse to change the names on the Google accounts of transgender students, it would be so easy to do this but they refuse because they are transphobic. Their approach to bullying is terrible because they always believe the teachers first and act like the students are always lying and the teachers can do whatever they want. The administration has random outbursts where they dresscode a bunch of students for no reason. Overall this school is terrible and if I got my dream house for free, but I had to attend this school/send my children there, I would not accept the house. FULL OF TRANSPHOBES AND HOMOPHOBES.

The academy is remarkable and actually offers university classes.

I’ve had 4 children go through this school and it’s been an amazing experience. We’ve been very happy with the teachers, administrators, counselors, nurses, paras & other staff they’ve had interaction with. There is a sense of community in the school. You can tell the staff truly cares about the students. My children each got what they needed individually and I was always pleased to see their growth each year.

Was bullied every day on track, have been physically and mentally attacked at this school reported it and it was brushed off. I Have been harassed and called slurs in front of the principal on the track before lunch and they did nothing about it even saying that they couldn't help. NOT A SAFE PLACE FOR HAVING LEARNING DISABILITIES OR LQBTQ+!! Not a safe place. Makes you feel like you will need extreme therapy after the short Years your here.

Moved from the UK and placed our daughter in MCE. She has been there for 2 years and loves the place. All teachers and support staff are wonderful!

I honestly didn't want to review this "school" because there is no option to give zero stars and honestly I don't think it deserves that. The main reason it is bad is because of the principal, she is new and is, to say the least, a terrible leader, I'm not sure what school she went to, but it definitely isn't accredited. She is just awful in every way. I try to find something good about everyone, but so can't think of a single good thing about her. Ok school, pretty good teachers, terrible principal.

My son is a type 1 diabetic and has ADHD and they are wonderful with him. All the teachers that we have encountered areso kind and have big hearts
