\"TheThe Myeroff Family from Lake Elmo just began their second school year at MPA with their Kindergarten and PreK students.<\/em><\/p>\n

What initially attracted you to MPA?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nWhen we started our school search, we weren\u2019t looking at private school for private schools’ sake. In fact, we were leaning more towards public schools until we started learning more about MPA. We wanted a school that would help grow our kids’ confidence while they learned, and a community that believed school was not just a place to learn but a place to grow into a kind, compassionate member of society. We wanted a community that valued diversity where no students got or felt lost in the shuffle. We wanted a community for not just our kids, but also for us as a family. We were blown away that we found all of that and SO much more at MPA!<\/p>\n

How is your child encouraged to dream big and do right at MPA?<\/strong>
\nWe love that in PreK, knowledge isn\u2019t just about learning the ABCs and numbers, but it’s about the social\/emotional growth that is so critical at that age. They talk about feelings and different ways they can approach situations, and what kindness means and how to show it. It\u2019s been so fun to see how proud Maddy is when she gets recognized for a CHAMP action!<\/p>\n

What would you tell another family considering MPA?<\/strong>
\nYou won’t regret it! Every touchpoint we\u2019ve had interacting with MPA has either made us say to ourselves, “we\u2019re so happy with our decision,” or say, “this is even better than we could have imagined.” It\u2019s amazing how easy it is to become part of the community and we have loved our experience so far!<\/p>\n

In what ways has MPA prepared your child for life in the 21st century? What are the key attributes, skills, and content that you find most valuable?<\/strong>
\nI would say the fact that their education isn\u2019t focused on memorization, but it’s about building critical thinking skills, focusing on teamwork, and developing kids that want to make the world a better, kinder place.<\/p>\n

What do you love about MPA?<\/strong>
\nEverything! We have been blown away by our experience at MPA. Between the amazing teachers and staff, the facilities, the incredible parents we\u2019ve met, the kind new friends Maddy has made, and the confidence and knowledge she\u2019s learned in just a year, it\u2019s really been incredible.<\/p>\n
