Our daughter attended Namaste for three years, in the same classroom. The gift of her experience is…read morehard to capture in a few sentences. She has continually been challenged and supported academically, socially, and emotionally. Her artwork includes still-life and portrait drawings. She writes her name in cursive and was empowered to read at the age of five. She has solid math skills and knows all the continents...This is but a taste of what she has learned. More importantly, she is empowered to learn. The classroom environment allows her to help guide her own growth while challenging her to work on skills that will help her in the future (including things like using a hammer and nails and taking space in a place like a "peace loft" when she needs to!). She hasn't just learned how to be a student: she has learned how to be a human being in her world and contribute to it. People constantly comment on how "mature" she is for her age. She has self-control, she's relatively independent, she shows empathy for others, she is endlessly curious and asks thoughtful questions, and she can talk rather deeply about her feelings - among a myriad of other notable qualities related to her time at Namaste. The teachers are incredible, and the progress reports are detailed depictions of our daughter in the classroom. The school also encourages family participation throughout the year, including a "bring an adult to school day" and "gardening day." It is a beautiful community. My husband and I often remark on how Namaste is one of the best decisions we made as parents. What an incredible gift to give her this foundation for the rest of her life.

The fire making and stone drilling activities also piqued her interest. I would give this camp 5 stars except for the fact that the camp end time doesn't accommodate working families. The regular day ends at 3:30 and "epic" day ends at 4:30. It would be so much more epic for parents if there was an extended day program until 5 or 5:30.

There is no instruction at all. The so-called teachers they have usually have no formal education at all past high school. All these 'teachers' do is sit there and read books or ignore the students. Have to use the bathroom? Pray they see you jumping up and down before you mess yourself. 6 year old mis-behave and get stuck in the corner? Expect to stay they for hours since they completely forgot about you. Have any legitimate questions? "...because God wants...". Have any medical problems? "Your ear aches? Let me see, oop you have wax in there, I keep my wax under the kitchen sink.... now go sit back down quietly and do your work". This school should be shut down on the terms of child-endangerment and not being formally staffed.

My three children attend the school now and I find that it has been a great experience already…read more The school has two fairly unique qualities of self-paced education and teaching for mastery. The goal is for the students to master the information, as such if they do not make 80% then they have to review the material and retest. Classroom education that is lecture and test can leave students in the dust, but here the needs of the individual can be met without holding up a whole classroom. The school uses both ACE and AOP curricula which utilize either paper booklets or computer based lessons. The teachers are dedicated, experienced professionals that care deeply for the students and strive to instruct and encourage students daily. The school administrator has been with the school for four decades and the school has an excellent reputation in the community. If traditional education is not serving your child well, if you are concerned about the "extras" that are forced on children in the public school, if you value a Biblical Worldview then MCA will be worth your time to check out!

From the moment students arrive, they are immersed in the natural beauty of Ithaca's Finger Lakes region. Morning workshops often take place outdoors beside Beebe Lake, with its cascading waterfalls setting the tone for creativity and calm. Students write in journals beneath the trees of the Cornell Botanic Gardens, or design science experiments inspired by the micro-ecosystems in the Cascadilla Gorge Trail just steps away. Whether it's mythic storytelling on woodland paths, LARPing through sun-dappled fields, or pausing to reflect beside a quiet stream, campers learn to see nature as both a canvas for their imagination and a partner in their learning. Daily movement is grounded in nature too--campers hike, build temporary outdoor sets for performances, and observe the stars in open-sky astronomy sessions. At DIGIVATIONS, the natural world becomes part of the narrative--where Artemis might guide a quest through the woods, or a physics lesson unfolds in the arc of a skipping stone. Students leave with more than knowledge; they leave with a renewed relationship to the earth and their place in it.
