NAIS membership, in particular, is a hallmark of nationally competitive independent schools.
Mission: The mission of The Montgomery Academy is the pursuit of excellence within the four major spheres of Academy life: academics, the arts, athletics and activities. Implicit in this is the existence of an environment in which students are simultaneously supported and challenged. The ultimate component of this mission is to assist students in becoming adults of strong moral character who contribute to society in both their professional and community lives.
Sports: Interscholastic sports are very popular at the Academy. Two-thirds of Middle and Upper School students sport their cardinal and navy colors in the different sports available at the Academy. Because The Montgomery Academy is a smaller school, we are able to offer students more opportunities to play their chosen sports and to develop their athletic skills to the fullest. There are 31 teams for boys and girls in grades 7-12 including, basketball, soccer, football, golf, tennis, baseball, softball, track, cross country, volleyball, swimming and cheerleading. Many teams have earned state championships in their respective sports. Coaches are dedicated to bringing out the best in their players and to teaching the value of sportsmanship and teamwork. All students participate in physical education classes where they can explore a variety of sports and fitness activities.
The Montgomery Academy’s Athletic Department provides all necessary equipment such as bats, balls, helmets, and all required padding for football. In addition, all team uniforms are provided with tennis being the only exception. Parents of students participating on MA sports teams may incur costs for team spirit packs. Spirit packs include items that enhance team spirit and unity, but are not required for participation.
Clubs: There are several clubs for students to join in the Lower School and Middle School divisions and more than 20 clubs and organizations for Upper School students to join. These include: Academy Ambassadors, Amnesty International, Architecture Club, Chamber Music Ensemble, Drama Club, Dance Team, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Forensics Teams, Foreign Language Clubs, Government Club, HEART-Community Service, Honor Council, Math Club, Outdoor Club, Peer Pals, Student Council, Student Newspaper, Video Games, Interact, Wildlife Conservation, The Flyer-school newspaper and the yearbook.
Other: Founded in 1959, The Montgomery Academy is an independent, non-sectarian, coed college-preparatory day school, enrolling students in grades K-12. The curriculum is designed to provide above average to superior students the preparation necessary for success, both in college and in later life. Through the Student Honor Council and the school’s Honor Code, the Academy strives to build personal integrity and character in every student.
All Academy graduates attend a four-year college or university; many are selected to some of the most prestigious colleges and universities in the nation. Members of the graduating class of 2010 were accepted to 87 different institutions of higher learning, and 75% of the 68 member senior class received over $6.9 million dollars in merit scholarship offers! (This figures does not include financial aid or need-based scholarships!) Thirty Advanced Placement and Honors courses are offered.
The faculty at The Montgomery Academy has consistently demonstrated noteworthy expertise in individual academic fields and represents a diverse array of scholars from all regions of the United States and from several countries. Our faculty currently consists of graduates of many of the nation’s finest colleges and graduate programs, earning honors such as the American Association of Teachers of French National Excellence Award, and two Fulbright Seminar participants.
With limited class sizes and an exceptional faculty, the Academy builds a caring supportive community in which students are challenged to perform to the maximum of their ability and potential.
