Unparalleled rich and academic learning. There is no wasting time on trivial pursuits at this school except if it is not to play a stimulating and fun math game, identify birds in the woods at recess, play out the battle of Sparta on the playground and get lost in great works of poetry. Yes, in Kindergarten ! This is a school for young curious minds. It is a tight knit community of thoughtful parents and educators. Our family has been there for 6 years and our children have benefitted enormously.

We are a new family in Main Line Classical Academy. We transferred our son from a top 5 Maryland private school for the exclusivity of MLCA. The former school had a well-known name, national ranking, huge facilities, and emerald sports fields. What was missing for us, and what we ultimately discovered at MLCA, was the individual approach to our child. Main Line Classical Academy offers a rigid curriculum that, quite frankly, is stellar, and we haven’t seen anything like that at the top private schools. We had a fantastic opportunity to meet all his teachers during the Back-to-School event, and to say that we were impressed is to say nothing. Every class is designed to deliver rather challenging material in a child-friendly, age-appropriate manner. For example, in the 1st-grade class, students studied maps, talked about Pelasgians, learned the letters of the Greek alphabet, and covered and read a couple of myths, and they did all this only in a few weeks of school. More to say, our child comes back home and talks about his school day. Another component is that the school is very child centric. They genuinely care about their students. Our son is all boy so he likes to have fun and move around. The school day offers plenty of recess opportunities that he loves. The school doesn’t provide sports, but the PE class is excellent!
