Across our virtual campuses, in our homes, our commitment to one another and to our community is expressed in how we learn and how we give back. In these challenging times, we are discovering new and creative ways to to maintain our sense of connection and togetherness. 

 

Finding strength in our one-school community. We are MKA.

MKA Gives Back 

Tutoring Others

 

Aron '21 has started teenagerscanhelp.com to support first responders and medical workers by offering online tutoring to their children. He and his volunteers want to give back and say thank you. He has a lot of volunteers, but he wants to get the word out to families (MKA and beyond) who may need this help.

Sewing Masks


Thank you to Ella '24, Pippa '25, Isabelle '27, and Kendall '20 who have taken the time to hand sew cloth masks for first responders at local hospitals and grocery store employees during this time. 

 

If you'd like to learn, or teach your children, how to make a cloth mask at home, here's a great tutorial.
