A lot of things make MPA special, but for eighth grader Aili, these are the top five things that stand out the most!
1. MPA allows students to express themselves.
There is a large variety of after-school activities and electives available for us to choose from. There are instrumental groups, theatre productions, sport teams, and so much more. Everyone is welcome to join, and all are very welcoming and friendly.
2. We have fun assemblies and social events.
MPA has many assemblies, such as Give To The Max Day and pairing assemblies, and events throughout the school year, such as concerts and shows, that allow us to interact with peers and students from other grades. During these events and assemblies, we get the opportunity to participate and support our friends.
3. I love that MPA is Prek-12.
As a PreK-12 school, I am able to have friends of all ages and grades. This allows me to be able to have friends from Upper School through extracurriculars instead of only students in my grade.
4. We have adventures off-campus.
MPA gives us opportunities for overnight trips such as Eagle Bluff and Wolf Ridge, and to places outside of the country such as Quebec and Costa Rica through i-Term. These trips are always so much fun and I always leave them with great and exciting memories.
5. You have meaningful friendships and community.
Everyone is so kind and it is so easy to make friends here. You are able to be yourself and spend time with people that you enjoy and get you.
