    "I am extremely pleased with MFA. As we are 2 parents who attended catholic schools for 12 years, we struggled with the decision to go in that direction. We went on the advise of 2 educators outside the district ( 1 being a principal ) and many others ,saying that MFA is excellent. After 3 years, it has exceeded my expectations . My sons teachers have been beyond excellent. I am very involved in the school and I have found an overwhelming amount of parents who are also very involved. I am very happy with every aspect of this school."

    "As the grandmother, I am disappointed in the school. In less than 2 months, a very energetic, eager to learn kindergartner is being turned off to school. It appears that the teachers are NOT TEACHING. Rather, they prepare homework assignments and direct the parents to teach the children words and how to read. The only evidence of learning at school so far is DUCK DUCK GOOSE. If the teacher is unable or unwilling to TEACH, and merely expects HOMESCHOOLING, why bother to send a child to be turned off by the process."

    "I am the grandparent and guardian of my 7-year-old grandson and, as a former student, I am still extremely impressed with MFA. The namesake, Mahala F. Atchison was my mother's best friend, whom she cared for until Mrs. Atchison's death. I also had Mrs. Atchison for a teacher when the school first opened. Her legacy is alive and well at MFA, and I'm proud to send my children there. When my grandson was a kindergartner, I had to let him continue at the Goddard School of Tinton Falls because of MFA's half-day program. Now that the kindergarten enrichment program will be coming this fall, I will now be able to send my granddaughter! I love this school and have a deep abiding respect for Mr. Hallman, Connie and Terry, who have helped me navigate through the school year, and of course, Mr. Morrows, who is an 'outstanding' teacher. Bravo to MFA!"
