    If I could give this review zero stars I absolutely would. If your child is advanced or doesnt fit…read morein SAE's standard or box steer clear from this school! Seriously, don't do it. We were new to Georgia when we first joined SAE. We were originally told our child would be placed in Pre-K 4 even though their birthday is after the September 1st cutoff. Imagine our surprise after they took our money and we signed a contract that they put our child in Pre-K 3. Their excuse was we need to see if they can adapt to the SAE way. Thats fair enough, but they never moved our child to Pre-K 4, even after they passed all of their assessments. Nonetheless, she had a good teacher and the teacher tested her and stated she definitely should be in Kindergarten and not Pre-K for the upcoming fall school year. This we already were aware of since we work with our children at home. We had a meeting with the SAE administration and they refused to move our child to Kindergarten. Mind you our child wouldn't be the only child who has been moved up and this is a private education system. We are paying for it so the reasons that were given weren't justifiable. They wanted us to try the Pre-K 4 program since its equivalent to public Kindergarten( their words not mines) and then evaluate the move to Kindergarten. That failed miserably as an incident took place with the pre-k 4 teachers that prompted our immediate removal of our child all together. "When we called the pre-k 3 teacher that we had the previous school year, she stated she was glad we were done with that place and although the incident is unfortunate I'm glad your child is no longer there". Those are very concerning words coming from a teacher/staff member. All in all it has been such a blessing in disguise! After leaving SAE, we weren't sure what direction to go in as far as childcare since we knew our child was too advanced for childcare center or daycare. So we looked into homeschooling and co ops. Prior to placement they tested our child and they tested on a 1st grade level! Here we are advocating for our child to be in kindergarten and we should have been advocating for 1st grade! Imagine if we would have stayed at SAE. We would be doing a disservice to our child as they would be in Pre-K 4 and not learning on the level they should be. Again if your child operates outside of the standard or on an advanced level do not send your child to SAE. Just for safety concerns alone, dont send your child here. Always ask your child how their day was and listen to them. Actively listen to them, had we not done so our child would still be here. Thank God our child spoke up!

    My son goes to this school. He's been here since 4th grade he's now in 6 grade he loves it here…read more The teachers are wonderful and learning is great. I'm going to miss this school cause it only goes up to 8th grade.

    We have been with Miles since the very first year the school opened. Overall, I feel that the…read moreadministrators and teachers truly care about the well being of the students and the school truly stands by their motto. They truly foster an environment of mutual respect and integrity.

    Not to be dramatic, but this school has changed our lives! We have had the best experience at MACS!…read moreMy daughter started kindergarten in the fall, and she has truly transformed during her time at the school so far. She comes home every day and tells me what she is learning in class and what her favorite activities are (she loves the indoor playground with the rock climbing wall the best). Ms. Thomas and Ms. Sanchez are WONDERFUL homeroom teachers! The Expedition teachers (Social Studies, PE, Coding, Science) are also all so wonderful! I love that the school focuses on emotional intelligence as well as traditional studies, plus a heavy dose of STEM-focused learning. Watching my daughter interact with the other scholars in her class is remarkable. I have NEVER seen 5-6yo kids work together in such a seamless, cohesive way, and it really speaks to how the schools teaches them to be a supportive team. I think there are MANY MANY MANY benefits of this sort of education that focuses on 21st century skills AND emotional growth is the future, and I don't think you'll find anywhere that gets it right quite like MACS! There have been a FEW (very few) occasions where the school has had to cancel aftercare suddenly or change plans in some way, but they are extremely good at communicating these changes. Please remember that this is a new, grassroots school that is community based and community supported. Smaller/newer schools are navigating different challenges than established public schools, so give them some grace as they work through these challenges. These unexpected changes are simply just VERY OCCASIONAL "growing pains" since it is such a new organization, but we have not experienced anything drastic or anything that has made us question the school's ability to give our child the best educational experience. If anything, I feel like they communicate changes so well and create a sense that we are all a big team and work together for all of the children. I love that they encourage families to be involved. I love being a part of a meaningful organization in my community. I love meeting the other parents and scholars. It truly feels like we are one team with the same goal.
