Main Line Classical Academy

"I recently had a thank-you-mlca experience with my daughter while in Paris. We were walking around the Louvre and my 9 year old daughter was pulling me along excitingly pointing out all of greek and roman allegory that she could see...and seeing that we were in the Louvre, there was certainly a lot!! She recognized ancient, medieval, renaissance imagery. The paintings, sculptures and architecture "spoke" to her in ways that many of us (and certainly many other 9 year olds) miss. Her time at MLCA has taught her a lot, but one of the things I'm most grateful for is that from kindergarten onward, they are exposed to classical imagery, language and music; and they are taught to appreciate the beauty and history that underlies it all."

"This school has given my daughter a fantastic education. Very intensive STEM training and a unique approach to humanities that includes language work from an early age and challenging/thought provoking reading in all grades. I also love that my daughter gets around 3 hours of art and music instruction every week."

"This is a wonderful, warm school which manages to be nurturing in the true sense of the word and to provide a stellar academic experience. Our kids actually miss school on holidays and summer break. I believe MLCA provides the most challenging and engaging program in the area."

"This is our second year in the school (our daughter is in first grade) and we could not be happier there. Somehow MLCA manages to be extremely fun and very academically rigorous at the same time, with lots of time to play and explore outside while maintaining a very high standard for all subjects. Another thing worthy of highlighting is the teaching faculty; All the teachers are amazing and very accomplished academically, so the kids get a wonderful and very well rounded education. The level and depth of discussion my first grade has in class, never cease to amaze me. Most importantly, our daughter comes home from school excited about all the wonderful things she learned, and that is what matters the most to us as parents."

"Our family is forever grateful that our child receives this beautiful gift of such a rich and meaningful education. The faculty is wonderful. We love all of the teachers. We chose the school for many reasons. The curriculum was very ideal for us. Piano, violin, French, Latin, history, the way math is taught, and all of the literature that is studied. We wanted a generous amount of outside time spent each day. We wanted a school with no computer use for the children. We preferred a small school with small class sizes. Main Line Classical is a true gem. My child has continually thanked me since she started one year ago, for having her go to this school. As she calls it, “the perfect school for me. “"
