(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - MSA is a great school. It has many good art, technology, dance, tae kwon do, etc. classes. The teachers are good and academic standards are high. In high school it is great to start taking college classes in the 9th grade to get ahead and for all students the plays and musicals are fantastic. Not too fond of the uniforms though, and the schools' disciplinary staff is a little too strict sometimes.
