Unlike many other Montessori schools in the area, Countryside offers education to elementary and middle school students in addition to preschool and kindergarten students. They also provide an all-year option for families seeking year round education. While the name is changing, the Countryside faculty and staff remains committed to providing education based on Montessori principles. They offer a unique real-world experiential and studentcentered approach that focuses on developing students beyond academics. “Academic excellence is at the core of everything we do, but we also focus on cultivating the character qualities students need to succeed outside of school. Our mission is to develop students who are respectful, responsible and resourceful. We are focused on helping young people become more than just great students; our goal is exceptional adults,” said Wendy Calise, Head of School. Countryside started its elementary education program in the early seventies and opened a middle school in 2012. The elementary and middle school provide curriculum that accounts for local public school guidelines to ensure successful transitions to high school but more importantly allows individual students to work at a faster pace. “By offering our unique program beyond the early education years, we believe we can have a greater impact in our students lives as they transition through their teen years and into adulthood. In today’s world, learning to confidently navigate life’s complexities and find your own way to success has never been more important. Our approach ensures our students are ready for whatever they choose to pursue in life,” said Guy Calise, Middle School Director.

22ndCenturyMedia.com private school guide 22nd century media | January 24, 2019 | 7 Students from around the world attend Missouri Military Academy Since 1889, thousands of parents have looked to Missouri Military Academy (MMA) to give their boys the structure, responsibility and love they need to grow, compete and thrive — and ultimately become young men who are in full command of their lives. Students come from across the United States and around the world to attend MMA. Focused on the education of boys in grades 7 through 12 and post-grad year, the Academy is a college-preparatory boarding school with a military tradition. MMA’s comprehensive 360° Education empowers boys and young men to unlock their full potential. Through MMA, families give their boys gifts of courage, strength, heart and pride — an edge to triumph in college and in life. “We have known what potential he has and he is now seeing for himself,” MMA parents Bob and Jennifer Wever said. “MMA has been the best decision we have ever made for our son.” MMA understands and embraces how boys learn and what inspires and challenges them. Through MMA’s tight-knit environment, supported by peers, teachers, and mentors, boys learn personal accountability, perseverance, and self-discipline. “MMA has given my son the ability to think about his choices and to take responsibility for them. He has learned that he is in charge of his freedom, privileges, and future,” MMA mom Dr. Victoria Thompson said. “He said to me, ‘I know I don’t tell you enough, but I am very grateful for the opportunity you have given me to be able to go to MMA.’” Known for their sense of character and strong leadership traits, MMA graduates consistently achieve 100 percent college acceptance and earn an impressive number of scholarships. The Class of 2018 earned more than $6.5 million in college scholarships, and recent graduates have been accepted to Loyola Marymount University, Case Western Reserve, Savannah College of Art and Design, the Citadel, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, University of Washington, and more. MMA’s unique Triumph Program gives students an early start on college. Qualifying students can finish high school with one year of college -- or even earn their associate degree. Supported by MMA’s structured environment, students take classes with William Woods University faculty on MMA’s campus. Parents and students benefit from a map to college graduation, starting as early as middle school, to help understand their college investment and academic plan. Located in central Missouri, approximately six hours from Chicago, Missouri Military Academy’s 248-acre campus provides a safe, supportive, and scenic setting for learning and growth.
