TMA's Science Expo on Feb. 11th showed our Mustangs' curiosity and creatvity.








6th years in Upper El practiced using chopsticks to sample bao buns and had a tea tasting as part of their final project for their study of Chinese history.


Friday fun from Room 6 - dinosaur scrubbing anyone? Mrs. Brewton always has something new to scrub. In October it was pumpkin scrubbing. What will she think up next?

A quiet moment of deep concentration in Room 5.

Join us for a parents' night out!

Our Upper Elementary 6th years and Junior High students rolled up their sleeves for a hands-on sheep brain lab—and yes, there was definitely a little “yuck!” mixed in with the curiosity. Some brave scientists leaned right in, while others weren’t quite so sure (just check out those faces!). Lots of great questions, careful observations, nervous laughs, and real learning


Wednesday gives us a window into Room 4, our toddler class at TMA. Friendship and early reading begin in gentle, meaningful ways in our Montessori toddler classroom. These shared moments nurture language, a love of reading, and the joy of learning alongside friends.

Tuesday is Room 3 day at TMA! Assistant Teacher Mrs. Fair guides a friend on how to use the buckle dressing frame. Part of the Practical Life curriculum in the Early Childhood classroom, dressing frames help children gain independence in care for themselves. Soon this child will be able to buckle her own shoes, belts, and coats independently. Small moments, big growth.

Sounds of the holidays filled the air today at TMA's Winter Singalong. Wishing you all joy, light, and peace in the new year.


Mrs. Muffoletto's annual Literal Interpretation of How to Make a Peanut Butter Sandwich. Follow directions!


The TMA community showed up once again! The Upper Elementary Pajama Drive collected over 84 pairs of pajamas. We are so grateful for this incredible outpouring of support and care for our wider community. Thank you for making generosity a TMA tradition.

Our Lower Elementary students enjoyed an interactive presentation today as we marked the first day of Hanukkah. They participated in telling the Hanukkah story, played dreidle, learned Hebrew, and explored traditions like eating latkes, gelt, and sufganiyot. We are grateful to all our parent presenters who help bring the world into our classrooms and deepen our students' understanding of cultures, history, and community.
