The answer is obvious isn't it - to learn the skills and concepts necessary to lead a productive/successful/happy life. Consequently, schools are about learning, nothing more, nothing less. At Morgantown Learning Academy, the area's only not-for-profit, non-denominational, P-8 private school, all academic and administrative decision making is based solely on what is best to enhance individual student learning. Each student is annually expected to learn more than their equally talented peers studying at other American schools. MLA teachers are held accountable for developing and implementing individualized instructional strategies for each of their students so as to maximize individual learner potential. Philosophically, MLA students do not fail. When individual student goals are not achieved, MLA recognizes this to be an instructional problem, not a student one. By accepting the responsibility for teaching all its students, MLA positions itself to truly be a one-of a-kind learning center. And most importantly, test data indicate that MLA students do regularly exceed their equally talented peers in regard to the achievement of academic excellence.

If you believe that schools should exist primarily to enhance individual academic achievement, perhaps you should consider MLA for your child's education. You will be pleasantly surprised by the results of placing your child in an educational culture where individual student academic achievement is the norm, not the exception. After all, at MLA, "learning" is our middle name.
