Mission and Value Statement

Our mission is to provide an educational setting for students who are challenged educationally and socially in the traditional school setting and to offer them an opportunity to reach their educational goals and to work at their own pace with a prescribed educational plan. AMA creates an atmosphere that stimulates academic success, also we provide positive techniques for students to build character and to become life-long learners in this ever changing culturally diverse society. An opportunity is also given to parents and guardians to be involved in their child’s educational process and gain knowledge of the school’s expectation. As we partner with our families, we provide educational resources to help students and families to reach their potential in life.
