Mason Classical Academy is the best school in Collier County. The values and good habits they instill in kids are incomparable that holds the character high than anything else. The rigorous curriculum is keeping my kids well challenged and eager to learn. Amazing teachers who do their job with utmost passion. We moved out of the school during COVID, tried another school online and in-person and we are back again to MCA realizing this is the BEST school my kids can be. Academic results are great too !!!

MCA is the most rigorous school in Collier County. Utilizing a classical curriculum, MCA holds all students to a higher bar and challenges them. Out of four schools my children have attended, this one is the BEST! They've been at MCA for 3 years so I've seen 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade. Amazing - no other school in SWFL compared.
