My son attended MLI from elementary through middle school and wished they offered High School as well. My son received the best,individualized educational start. As a single parent I had alot of daily responsibilities; MLI provided me with both unique and personal support; while providing my son with a safe, happy and high-quality education. The classes are small, the teachers and all the staff are truly amazing! Thank you Mrs Vo, Mrs. Brown, Mr. David, Mrs. Turner, Mrs. Singletary, Ms. Nicole, and all the other great staff. We miss you and appreciate all your care given to our family over the years. MLI, is in a class all by itself!!

A great school. Based on traditional values that develop the whole personIndividual instruction including speaking music poetry art based on respect and responsibilityWe was in public school after returning from abroad in 2020 and this was head and shoulders above Condit or HISDdaughter can`t wait to go to school in the morning and as parents, the price is reasonable in exchange for the superior value the graduates seem to do very well as they transfer to other schools in year 9. The values and habits appear to last a lifetimeWe are very proud to be MLI Parents.
