Our kids are in pre-k and kindergarten at Mason Prep and they are thriving! They are so excited to go to school each morning and we feel comfortable sending them knowing they will be safe, loved, and challenged. One of the things we love most about MPS is how they foster the whole child. Because of the small class sizes and the great student-teacher ratio, they are able to get their individual needs met academically, socially and emotionally. We have been very pleased with the Social Emotional Learning curriculum and all of the special areas. Innovation and Design is our son's favorite! Before coming to MPS, we were told how it's a special place. Those words couldn't be more true! It has a family feel with lots of fun events throughout the year. We love being so involved in our children's education. The last thing we'll note is how wonderful the staff is. They are top-notch teachers who really care for our kids and push them to be the best version of themselves. Our kids are learning at such a fast pace and we feel confident they will be prepared for high school and beyond. We couldn't recommend Mason Prep enough and we feel very lucky to be a part of the MPS community.

My child attended this school for 9 years. She not only received an incredible education but also formed some lifelong friendships.

I’ve been a Mason Prep parent of two for six years now. Both of my children are extremely happy on a daily basis and learning on a level I didn’t know possible. They are in 2nd and 5th grade and go to school every day excited to learn with their friends and with a thirst for knowledge. The teachers and staff are loving and really take the time to get to know each and every student and their family to better guide each child individually throughout their school year. Kindness is a big deal at Mason Prep and it is promoted and rewarded daily. All families are highly involved in school activities, field trips,volunteering, and pitching in where they can. This makes for an extremely special environment that allows the children and the school to grow and thrive. This school is creating amazing young people and I wouldn’t want my children anywhere else!

This school has gone downhill. Poor leadership, favoritism, and antiquated teacher centered classrooms. Toxic environment, many students see no consequences for their actions. Mental health support is a joke. Better off at a public school.

Exceptional! I am an educator whose children attended this school. Without reservation, I encourage folks to check out this nurturing and rigorous school.

Excellent! I have had such a positive experience at MP and find the quality of education and smaller family vibe to be conducive to building responsible, self motivated, smart children. The teachers here genuinely care about the kids, and our kids love going to school! The families are very involved and its just a happy place to be!

Mason Prep has truly been a “home away from home” for our children. We could not be more pleased with the solid academic foundation our children are receiving and the individualized educational approach the teachers and staff strive to provide for each and every student. Mason Prep provides a structured learning environment where all children achieve success and a caring environment where children also grow emotionally and socially.

I came to mason prep in 1st grade, and I recently graduated from the school. It really prepared me well for high school academically.

Our experience has been a great one. From the beginning, the school felt like a family. We are very happy with the education our kids have gotten from the academics to character education. We have recommended Mason Prep to many friends and would continue to do so.

All three of my children have attended Mason Prep. Over the course of my 17 consecutive years at Mason Prep, I’ve been pleased with the academics and sense of citizenship my children have learned. Each child has had a different learning style that the teachers have all adjusted to. My children have been inspired to learn and succeed. My oldest graduated from college last year cum laude (on scholarship) and is preparing to enter law school. My middle child is a junior in college and is on the dean’s list AGAIN. My youngest, 7th grade, is thriving academically and socially. The educational foundation that Mason Prep has given each of my children has proven itself to be a sound financial investment in their futures. I couldn’t be more pleased with Mason Prep.

Mason prep balances academic rigor with social and emotional development so that students are challenged to think critically and creatively as well as foster the skills necessary to collaborate, communicate, and solve real-life problems. I can imagine a better preparation for high school and beyond.

My experience at this school was not good and would recommend parents look at many of the other options in the area. As a parent I felt as I had been fleeced for the money I spent to have my child attend this school. Miss Mason may have created a great school but that lack of leadership, nepotism and outdated teaching methods have ruined the school.

All four of our children attend Mason Prep in grades first, fifth and seventh. We chose Mason Prep for its strong academics and nurturing environment. All of the teachers are wonderful. We truly appreciate the individual, caring attention they give to each of our children, focusing on their strengths and helping them overcome their weaknesses. We love that the teachers at Mason Prep know when to give the children close guidance and when to give them more responsibility and freedom. Our children know that learning can be fun! The school’s smaller size means that the Head of School, teachers and every other member of the staff know each of our children well. We feel blessed that our children attend Mason Prep and would recommend it whole-heartedly.

Mason Prep has truly educated and shaped my children's character in ways for which I could not be more grateful. The academics are challenging and foster critical thinking but the development of good citizenship and character is not forfeited. My 3 children have been celebrated and supported by leadership, teachers, and classmates. I have no doubt they will go forward as resilient and productive citizens.

Love this school. My daughter gets plenty of attention from her teachers, who consistently challenge and encourage her. She is learning not only how to be a good student, but a kind, compassionate and engaged citizen. As a parent I always feel welcome, and the teachers and staff treat us like family.

We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience at Mason Prep, and highly recommend it to anyone that values a great education and character building experience.
