About Us

Welcome to The Montgomery Academy's website!

The Academy is a school whose wide offerings in academics, athletics, the arts, and activities give students incredible opportunities to discover their unique gifts and talents. Celebrating our 50th anniversary, our tradition of honor and excellence dates back to the school's formation in 1959. MA students pursue excellence in a nurturing, value-driven environment. The school shares with the family concern for the intellectual, moral, spiritual, emotional, and physical development of the child.

I have enjoyed being part of the MA learning community since 1980 as a teacher, a parent, and as an administrator. On a personal level I have experienced the "MA Difference." I trust that navigating the MA website gives you a taste of the incredible educational experience and that you recognize the great school pride that permeates our students, staff, parents, Board members, alumni, and friends of The Academy.

The hallmark of The Montgomery Academy is its quest for a high-quality educational and personal experience for each student. This is a school, guided by mission and core values, where young individuals of promise are pushed, stretched, and challenged, just as they are nurtured, mentored, and supported. This is a school where the academic experience leads to living a life, not just making a living. A Montgomery Academy education is the best investment in a child's future.

Come visit our Middle and Upper School campus where the Bridge to Excellence crosses Vaughn Road and our Lower School campus where Perry Hill Road meets I-85. Come join the learning community at MA!
