Emily Griffith High School

Ms. Hall-Jones is awesome. Ms. Stewart and the teaching staff are exceptional. Mr. Palmer has done a good job building a strong legacy.

The MAC is a special place that any family is lucky to call home for their young ones. With a challenging location in the middle of curtis park, they make the school feel like an oasis in the metropolis of downtown. Everything is clean and organized from classrooms to common areas. It is impressive how they have maintained an old building. With the recent renovation to the exterior sidewalks, rolling strollers up has never been easier. The staff both on the admin and teach side are courteous, professional and understand that parents care but the children are what matter the most. Catering to both our entire family has always felt welcome and safe. The Nido and Toddler classrooms are remarkable with their ability to teach a child life skills from as early as 12 weeks. The hands on learning along with an excellent teacher:student ratio puts MAC in a category of it's own. OUr teachers have been at the school for over 10 years, and it shows. They offer frequent advice to parents, which was particularly helpful as a first time parent. They also have a staff nurse to monitor the schools policy around health and awareness of how to treat sick kids, a resource for parents and a good way to help curb widespread outbreaks. MAC is committed to not only offering quality education for those who can afford it, but also seeks to give back to the community and offer scholarships to children who would otherwise not have the chance to be a part of the community. The one thing that stands out the most, is how polite and friendly everyone is to our daughter - and they genuinely know her, want to say hi and will always take the time to work with her to give her a chance to learn and grow while being happy and safe.
