They understand and engage each child. Besides academics, they learn respect for self, others, and the community. The upper elementary grades volunteer at an assisted living facility and at the Center for the Homeless. They take learning out into the world. TMA prepares kids for the future and makes them better able to understand the world around them and their role in it. Moving to TMA is the best decision we ever made for our child. It has been a rewarding experience.

Our son and our daughter both attended TMA for 5 years each. The community was very insular and…read morefostered a sense of safety and protection. The academics are absolutely sub-par. The students who attend TMA who go on to be successful are the product of parental involvement and many hours of expensive private tutoring outside of the school day. If your child goes to TMA and you do not augment their education there with private tutors, they will be far behind the local public school children. I have spoken to many, many parents of former TMA students who have experienced the same thing. Do not believe the administrative rhetoric. The education is sub-par, period!

It wasn't the most technical, or fancy but I felt the teachers really cared about their kids. My son loves it there and he has learned so much. He started at 10 months and now he is almost 15 months. Looking forward to keeping him here until he starts kindergarten.

Our daughter has been in daycare since she was one year old, and this was truly one of the best schools. I would recommend GA to anyone!

We feel it important to mention that ALL of our children are brown-skinned, and one has Down Syndrome. The actions of this entire staff show that they put the growth, development and Cultivation of students first, pushing for academic achievement and taking every opportunity to celebrate achievements. Our children have truly thrived in academic success, being on Academic teams and soaring, and connecting to opportunities that are fun and beneficial to their confidence and life. This school stands on advocacy for family support in whatever way is needed as we have witnessed this first-hand. They are humble servants from the Principal down to the service providers. We and our children are truly blessed to have this school. We have experienced other schools in the area that systematically turn a blind-eye to unethical operations and practices. This school takes safety seriously, is a breath of fresh air and proves that God will always make a way. Thank you Principal Masterson, Staff, and magnificent PTA. You are hands down the best run school on the planet; if everyone in the world operated like you, it would be like heaven. GO BOBCATS! The Hughes/Cherry Family
