 One of MMI’s most valuable assets is the strength of its faculty. These dedicated professionals are committed to working with students who are interested in learning; exposing them to a level of education well beyond what is considered traditional.
"One of the most exciting things that I get to do each day is teach Ancient Greek to sixth graders as well as Latin to seventh and eighth graders. This is the first opportunity that most students have to explore a foreign language; Greek and Latin are the perfect medium. They allow the imagination to reach back over the centuries and hear voices long dead speak again," said Reverend Lawrence R. Barriger.
Our small classes mean teachers truly get to know their students. When the final bell of the day rings, they continue working, providing after-school tutoring assistance. And, just as our teachers are willing to assist those who need help, they’re also available if a student wants to go above and beyond the curriculum. “Teaching at MMI is ideal because parents and students are 'on board' for the challenges offered to them. The fact that each class brings a fresh perspective keeps my job interesting. I think that many 'real world' lessons take place at MMI, especially in regard to building a work ethic. It may not be important to remember an author’s first name for the rest of your life, but getting in the habit of exercising that precious 'muscle' -- the brain -- prepares our students to take on the challenges they'll face in the future,” said Kathryn Green.Our teachers like being here. They work to keep the curriculum fresh and up to date. And they like seeing their students graduate from MMI and succeed in life. “Working with the students at MMI allows one to influence the human spirit. It allows us to believe that when an MMI student decides to succeed, they have the educational instruction and tools to build their success," said John
