MA Academy for Math & Science School Reviews

91 reviews

I was part of the inaugural class of 1993. The experience was eye-opening. Never before was I so challenged by the pace, curriculum, and mostly my fellow classmates. This experience was not only incredible to have as part of a college admissions package, but it also gave me the necessary perspective for all my future endeavors. All my classmates were incredibly talented, ambitious, and great people. Just keeping up, required me to learn and grow. Not only academically but also as a person. To say the program had a profound impact on me, would be an understatement! I loved my time in the Academy, and was very proud to be a part of such a highly talented group.

Review MA Academy for Math & Science School

Overall, I had an amazing experience. The teachers cover a large variety of topics, and they teach it in such an interesting manner! The project-based learning approach helps you feel like what you are learning is meaningful and can contribute to the outside world after your schooling years. The main problem that I encountered was the occasional vague assignment requirements, however as long as I completed the assignments to the extent that I thought, it turned out fine.

My experience at Mass Academy has been nothing short of amazing! I have learned so many new topics and skills that I never thought were possible before coming to this great school. I am surrounded by a close-knit community of passionate and intelligent individuals who work together to make the world a better place. I have grown both as a student and a person and made some of the best memories of my entire life. Furthermore, at Mass Academy, you are able to challenge yourself to further your education and set a foundation for your future studies through new opportunities. Overall, coming to Mass Academy has been the best decision I have ever made and I will always cherish my time as a student here.
