We enrolled our son at MLS as he was starting 2nd grade, and it is the BEST decision we've ever made. We noticed that he was being pigeon-holed in our former school community. As the only Black child in his class, AND the only Black person in his immediate family, he was isolated. As soon as we joined the MLS community, our son began to thrive. Gail and his other teachers truly see him. He is cherished, nurtured and loved every single day. He loves school and would prefer that there was no such thing as a summer break. The fact that MLS is Afrocentric was what first drew us, and that is incredibly valuable to us. Still, Afrocentrism is only one part of what is special about the school. This school truly values holistic learning. The kids do WEEKLY yoga, swimming, tennis, art classes, drumming, dance, singing, group emotional work, and more. I've never seen a school with this much commitment to nurturing the whole child. We often talk about MLS as being a miracle for our son and for our family.
