Johns Hopkins CTY Honors Montclair Kimberley Academy as a Top School

The Montclair Kimberley Academy Middle School has been named a "Top School" for the state of New Jersey in the 2009 Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth Talent Search.

In making the announcement, Executive Director Lea Ybarra commented: “We looked at the top 100 schools by state to determine the number of student enrollments we received into our annual Talent Search, and we’re pleased to let you know Montclair Kimberley Academy received this honor.  We hope this achievement will be a source of pride for you, your staff, students and families.  We’re very thankful for your participation, of course, but we are also mindful of what this award says about your school.  It suggests you have a solid core of very high achieving students."

"This recognition is particularly meaningful." notes Head of Campus Dr. Randy Kleinman, "It not only endorses the challenging, rigorous academic program that we offer, but also confirms that our students are prepared and feel encouraged to pursue interests and seek additional challenges beyond MKA."
