Montessori Christian Academy was where my educational journey began, from preschool through third grade. It was there that I learned to put God first, trust in His Word, and approach the world with curiosity.

MCA taught me more than just basic math and reading, it helped me develop lifelong skills, explore my interests, and grow in confidence. I also made friendships during those early years that I still have today, which speaks to the strong, supportive environment I was blessed to be part of.

Now, as I graduate high school and head to the University of Arkansas to major in Interior Architecture and Design, I carry the lessons, values, and friendships from MCA with me. With God at the center, I’m ready for what’s next.

I will be heading to the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville this fall, majoring in Business and minoring in Hospitality Management.

I went to MCA when I was about 3 years old and stayed all the way through third grade, I loved being at MCA and I’m forever grateful I got to go there! I loved all my teachers (especially Ms. Sara), I made so many amazing friends that I’m still friends with today, and I learned so much.

I still remember the song we sing before lunch and the songs we sang during our Christmas and end of the year programs.

I’ll always cherish the water fun days, the Christmas parties, and the birthday celebrations! I hope all of y’all know how blessed you are to be at this amazing school, with these amazing people! I pray that you all have the same amazing experience at MCA that I did!

I’m Carsyn Pfitzner, and I’m going to the University of Arkansas, majoring in pre-med biology and piano performance.

I was at MCA from preschool to third grade, and it gave me an academic foundation that would last for years to come.

I believe the successes I’ve accomplished today all stem back to my time spent at MCA and my future endeavors I may accomplish were all supported by my upcoming at this school.

My time at Montessori Christian Academy is something I will treasure for the rest of my life.

I was a student at MCA from Pre-K through third grade. During that time, I developed a relationship with the Lord at a very young age. I was taught the importance of trusting in Him and His plan for my life. MCA also instilled in me the value of kindness—not only toward others, but also toward myself—a lesson I will carry with me throughout my life.

I met some of my closest friends, relationships I still cherish today. My teachers consistently encouraged me to do my best and work hard by offering daily support and motivation. This fall, I will be attending the University of Arkansas, where I will major in Exercise Science through the Honors College on a pre-med track. I will continue to carry the lessons I learned and the memories I made at this special school with me. I will always be grateful for MCA.
