This quote from the Dalai Lama summarizes the commitment and focus for AMSA: “When educating the minds of our youth, we must not forget to educate their hearts.” AMSA has a strong and rigorous academic focus but the teachers and staff love the children. They make it an environment where learning is at the heart of everything and creativity is honored.  Not only have I seen my kids grow academically but also socially at AMSA. The community of students, teachers, staff and families is amazing.  This balance and blend of academics, sports, clubs, music, school dances/events and community involvement lends itself to educating the minds but also strengthening the growth of emotional and spiritual well being of our kids. AMSA is a special place!!!

I can't say enough about the galactic difference between AMSA and other schools our children have attended. The community of teachers and administrators at AMSA has been exceptional, and the quality of students is second to none. It's this combination that makes AMSA so special. Our son, who is on the autism spectrum, was so cherished and protected by his peers at AMSA that they voted him both Homecoming King and Prom King. How many secondary schools in the world have students with that type of kindness and character? AMSA has changed lives in this way and continues to strive to even be better.

My son getting into AMSA was the best thing that has happened to him, and our family. The overall support of my son as a whole - academically, socially and emotionally - has him thriving both in and out of the classroom. The mixture of a fantastic counseling department and several non-athletic extracurricular programs/activities has provided my son with so many positive social experiences. Teachers are always willing to provide extra support and guidance and have a level of dedication to their students I have never experienced before. My son has become part of a community, not just a school, and we are so grateful.

One of the best things about AMSA is how it brings together individuals from various cultures. As an immigrant to the U.S., I remember my children feeling out of place and struggling to find their identity even though they were born here. However, at AMSA, the diverse student and teacher body creates a sense of inclusivity and acceptance. This helps my children feel more confident and comfortable, and also allows them to learn from and appreciate different cultural backgrounds. Overall, AMSA promotes harmony and understanding, which I believe is one of the most valuable aspects of the school.

One of my most favorite memories as an AMSA parent was when my children would come home and talk about all the things they were learning. You could see their passion, excitement, and thirst for knowledge. I then went to parent night and saw the same passion, excitement, and thirst for knowledge on their teachers faces!

Dedication is the word I find to define the staff and students at AMSA. Their dedication and commitment to achieve anything but also respecting each others' differences. AMSA is a great diversity school. I’m so proud of being part of the AMSA family.

AMSA was a lifesaver for my son. As a neurodivergent student, he was welcomed and found friends for the first time. The Special Education Department helped my son grow and succeed, not just “get by.” They truly care and support students of all abilities.

AMSA provides a great platform and cultivates a well balanced environment with their faculties and students. This motivates my child to strive to do her best pushing to her limits to learn and to work hard on all her classes while balancing with extracurricular activities.
