I have attended MVA for 7 years and I can say without hesitation that I am better for being among such a diverse student body. I’m challenged academically on all fronts. I’m taking nearly all AP courses and excelling on all fronts. It’s a very different environment then the small, closed minded school I attended in elementary. I’ve never been afraid to ask questions or challenge a stance. In fact, my teachers welcome in-depth discussions in all my classes. The only two things I would change is the interaction with college counselors needs to start in Freshman year. All students need help to realize the importance of staying focused throughout their entire academic upper school experience. The second thing I would change is the science departments use of animal dissection. It’s outdated and not recognized by any reputable advanced learning platforms and MVA students could jump leaps and bounds ahead if the school would prioritize this issue.

Montverde Academy has a beautiful campus and wonderful facilities! There are excellent sports programs and a lot of school spirit. The fine arts/theater/music programs are amazing with excellent teachers. There are specialty conservatories for instrumental music, voice, as well as theater. There are many varied opportunities with clubs and different honor societies. I especially love the great cultural diversity among students and the programs that celebrate different customs. The school is very serious about college readiness and has multiple AP classes. The school helps prepare the students with testing preparation and the college application process. There is a college-readiness counselor assigned to each student. Volunteer hours are required for each student to graduate.

Although Montverde Academy's academics are impressive with IVY League college placement every year, what strikes me is how well-rounded the students are. Theatre and music conservatory students win many accolades and awards each school year. The athletic program has to be the best in the United States, not just for one sport, mind you, but for being so talented in many, many sports. Overall, approximately 50 athletes are playing professionally with the likes of Franciso Lindor for the Cleveland Indians, Ben Simmons of the Philadelphia 76'ers, RJ Barrett for the New York Knicks and Andre Shinyashaki, Rookie of the Year in Major League Soccer. All are Montverde Academy graduates. Girls soccer was number one in the United States last year, Boys Tennis won a national championship two years ago, baseball was number 2 in the United States 2 years ago, the best boys soccer team plays men's national teams and the boys basketball team has won 5 out of the last 8 national championships. A+!
