Why MMBOA?

We develop our curriculum around tried and true methods of learning. We continually develop and enrich our curriculum based on the needs of students, not trendy mandates by the state.

We believe in educating the whole child: academically, socially and emotionally.

Our small student to teacher ratio allows for individual support and attention during the learning process.

Our students often say that our school is like a home away from home. Our teachers know your child's strengths and areas for growth. The nurturing student/teacher relationship allows for each child to challenge him/herself to take risks while engaging in the learning process. Every mistake is a valuable learning opportunity.

Collaboration and effective communication is vital during the learning process. Your child will have ample opportunity to develop in these critical areas as they journey through our educational continuum beginning in our preschool.

We strive to provide a nurturing and challenging learning environment that engages creative development with independent thinking, while promoting self-discipline, self-esteem, consideration and respect for others.

We have exceptional teacher retention. Our teachers remain with us an average of 15 years. We even have staff members who were students at our school! When new positions open, we conduct national searches to find teachers who will fit with our educational values and philosophy of teaching.

We believe that we are "better together" when working to achieve our common goals. Our administration and teachers practice an open door policy and value working with our families. We value insight and feedback from all members of our community. Our door is always open!
