What Parents Are Saying About MAC:

"Our son is a hands-on tinkerer, a future engineer or architect. MAC has time and time again let him explore this unique talent of his. He's created clocks, models of buildings he admires, and collaborated on a mini-golf hole design, amongst countless other physical projects he continues to be proud of!"

- Dave B., MAC Upper School Parent

"Our son has been in Primary Sole for a little over a year, and we love Ms. Gabi and her team. Gabi's passion and dedication to her students are the best qualities we could've asked for in a teacher. She is a great leader, and the care and attention she gives to Nolan is one of the biggest reasons why he is the confident and clever kid he is today. Gabi recognized his interest in math and continued to encourage and challenge him. Kirsten and Anna are a great support for him as well. They guide him when he makes a mistake and are there to support him during downtimes. We're so lucky to have a caring group, and I know Nolan is in good hands."

- Tina C., MAC Lower School Parent

"Our eldest child was in middle school last year and was really struggling socially as they were new to the school. Our stated goal for the teachers was to work on the social anxiety they felt. We as parents and them as a child have never felt so heard and supported socio-emotionally at any other school. "

- Brian B., MAC Upper School Parent

"When I see my son run around the MAC hallways like "this is my place" it brings me incredible joy. He is comfortable and has teachers who love him. Seeing him experience the importance of kindness and love and taking care of spaces helps him step out in the world wanting to take care of every living being."

- Amanda L., MAC Lower School Parent

"MAC has instilled in Campbell a deep sense of community, respect, and empathy. As an only child, the relationships he’s built with his classmates feel like an extension of family to him. He values these friendships deeply and approaches them with kindness and care, which is a direct reflection of the environment at MAC."

- Heidi C., MAC Upper School Parent

"MAC allows my children to figure out who they are while always approaching others with kindness and an open mind! MAC instills a sense of curiosity in my kids about the world around them and gives them the independence to think, explore, and problem-solve."

- Lauren C., MAC Lower School Parent

What Teachers Are Saying About MAC:

"My favorite thing about MAC is the autonomy given to students and teachers, which leads everyone to pursue their interests/passions and (hopefully) show up as their authentic selves."

"I feel like I work in an environment where everyone can learn and grow and be better themselves. I have people that I trust to give me feedback and help me grow. The children, the families, and the teachers are all engaged in our own growth."

"The authenticity of Montessori and the method has been the foundation ever since I’ve been here at MAC. "

"People feel very supported and find what they need there or make a space for that. MAC is a space where your opinion is valued."

What Students Are Saying About MAC:

"MAC helps you see different perspectives and get out ther and realize how big the world is."

"MAC is special because the teachers know us and go deeper."

"I feel like it helps you have a better mindset, a more open mindset, and MAC helps you think deeper." 

"I love the way MAC teaches math- in 5th grade, I actually understood math by being taught in a Montessori way and with supportive teachers."

"I like that MAC goes to middle school because I get to stay at the same school and learn as I grow up."
