An MKA education is transformational because it is built on meaningful challenges and accomplishments that awaken students’ interests and passions. They learn at their growing edge, the place where they experience opportunities to push the boundaries of their understanding and comfort. And while an MKA education is a serious endeavor that is a step ahead at every stage, it is delivered at a student-centered pace that fosters a deep love of learning and enthusiasm for discovery and exploration, nurturing children who grow into confident adults, thoughtful citizens, and ethical leaders.

OUR MISSION


MKA's challenging, engaging, and innovative academic program provides a vibrant and transformative education. Our faculty's deep and genuine understanding of our students as individuals and as learners fosters their ethical development, intellectual growth, and personal success. MKA's diverse, collaborative, and inclusive community inspires students to lead lives of noble character, purpose, and distinction.

MEET OUR HEAD OF SCHOOL


Nigel D. Furlonge

"Community is such a distinguisher at MKA. To me, it is just about paying attention to one another. In that attention and intention, there are ways we witness students supporting and challenging one another; this is true of our faculty as well. I like to think of MKA as community at full stretch."
