My homeroom teacher, Ms. Kinney, was not very good at handling one of the autistic kids in my class. He left after like 3 months of being there. As well, one of the teachers next to my home room, Ms. EG, told me, a 6-year-old, to "zip it" after I was crying because someone YELLED AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS INTO MY EAR. Was he punished? Of course not! Was I? Why wouldn't I be! I had to apologize to EG for some ungodly reason. As well as this, I can kind of understand, but I kicked this one kid in the chest by accident, mind you, so you know what my friends did? They turned on me even after I had tried to apologize several times and went and got the kids home room teacher, Ms. Brimmis. After fetching her, she proceeded to yell at me for 20 FULL MINUTES while I was cowering, crying underneath one of the structures in the playground. The only nice person there was the vice principal, so I'd like to say thanks to her for making the year I was there at least somewhat bearable. A L burruss is NOT the school for me but now I'm homeschooled and could be happier. Btw I'm also autistic so keep that in the back of your head.

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.

I didn't want to just do an *average* review, nor did I want to be so aggrandizing as to create a new "listing" of my own Yelp life. [I did think about that one, though...]. Then it hit me: where it all began. Sure, I didn't start at Westminster til 6th grade (that little spurt in Chatt for preschool then another Atlanta private school came before) but it is the most formative educational experience of my life. Even - I think - more than UVA. What I learned, from the "Christian preparatory school for boys and girls" [Note: the specifically Christian part has changed since I was there in the 80s and 90s] is . . . hard to concisely explain [there are some negatives, which I will also mention]. Highlights: *How to think. My parents planted this seed early and they wisely knew I should be in a place where I was challenged, motivated, and importantly - intrigued. *How to create. So many friends have gone on to do amazingly creative, artistically or otherwise, things [see John Pringle http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=john+pringle+wednesday+with+steve+mcqueen&FORM=VRMATS&mmalsid=&mmsosid=385bcb7f-e962-3d3d-e30d-9cf6536fea31&crslsl=0 and Rob Lathan - http://www.roblathan.com/ Zach Hanks http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1189565/bio, just to name three . . .] *The dynamics of social hierarchy: put a lot of bright kids together - and I assure you not all rich WASPy kids - and you've got to learn some social skills, life tactics, motivation . . . [negatives: much like any JH and HS environments, cliques, snottiness, general *rivalries* exist] *Exposure to language and travel. From JH language classes and my first real foray abroad with my French class in 8th grade (I ultimately ended up with enough scores and credits to place out of any college requirements) to trips like Young Life's Western Tour that took us to TX, CO, Mexico, CA and back, with lots of stops in between (Have you climbed Half Dome? Pretty awesome). *The advantages to having so many interests at your use (and waiting or required, depending) - language! science! theater! oh my . . . *An athletic environment par none in Atlanta at my time, and amazingly even better now (and, frankly all "extra-curricular" outlets are as well- have you ever been forced to do a swing jump then safety catch as part of your high school curriculum? Didn't think so - oh, and I had to do mine in a cheerleading skirt). *Simply outstanding teachers (97.2% of the time) [Some pretty stern faculty members-in-charge could use a reset] *Wayyyy big preparation for college - I (and many of my classmates) say Westminster was more challenging than college (and we went to places like UVA, UNC, Dartmouth, Princeton, etc...) Negatives, so to speak, other than I have noted above? Intense competition and pressure; example: a typical weeknight for me as a high school sophomore was two hours of [cross country/cheerleading/tennis] practice, then homework from 8-11 pm, back up at 630 am. Varsity athletes who were also striving to keep being honor students did this every day, every week. Even Type As like me were . . . working hard and beyond. Social pressure - the flip side of acquiring those adult social skills. It's going to be in any Jr High or High School world, but it is amplified in such a brilliant environment. The Type Bs, so to speak - there for family reasons, because it is a phenomenal school, because . . .a really tough place to be as a kid and teen. Super spendy. A smart kid can learn well and go on to do well, regardless of their surroundings, but this kind comes at a price, which I believe is worth it, but it's a pretty big one in terms of dollars. Bottom line? I wouldn't trade it - the experience, the education, the whole shebang - for anything. As much as this smart, Type A, blonde cheerleading captain, WASP girl might have "fit in" and "excelled" - despite the expectations and challenges, on many levels, it is a privilege to go to a place like Westminster for education and way more. And a lot of other kids, different than me - can feel the exact same way. My parents didn't do everything right for sure, but they are the ones who made sure my hide was in that chair in Mrs. Norman's 6th grade English class, and taught me all about diagramming sentences. Part of why I get to write my 1,000th review. Exit, Stage Left.
