While the 2019-2020 school year didn't end as anyone could have expected, we are sure we made the right decision to choose MKA for both of our children.

Parent Community
Parents are an integral part of the MKA community, and their involvement is welcomed throughout the school. Working in partnership with the administration, parents have a special opportunity for participation in school life through PAMKA, the school's exceptionally active Parents' Association.
Hundreds of parent volunteers run events and programs devoted to fundraising, serving the local community, supporting the faculty, and bringing together families for social and educational events. From being involved with organizing the largest school Book Fair in the country, to helping chaperone a class trip, there is something for every parent to help with in enriching the MKA educational experience.

Teachers have been incredibly responsive, providing useful and encouraging feedback. They are also quick to respond to any questions/problems we as a family might have and to come up with creative solutions.

Having a check-in with every teacher has resulted in more structure and has helped her establish a more regular routine. Also, she appreciates the live contact with the teachers.

The thoughtfulness and professionalism of the faculty, staff, and administrators has consistently impressed us and has further proved to us that our decision to send our daughter to MKA was the right one! She has had a great year, and has developed some terrific friends, engaged with her teachers, and played on two terrific teams. All good things!
