Reflections and Advice:
1.) What do you think makes your school unique relative to other boarding schools?
I attended CMA for 5 years and it was a fantastic experience. I made life long friendships and grew in so many different aspects of my life. Most importantly was school and discipline and it was such a great help in both areas. I would highly recommend sending your son here for it was really a great part of my life.
2.) What was the best thing that happened to you in boarding school?
The best thing that came out of attending CMA would be the fact I left with a 4.6 gpa and would be attending Clemson later. Another great thing for me was getting to start on the Varsity Football team my freshman year and being a captain in my sophomore year.
3.) What might you have done differently during your boarding school experience?
I probably would’ve done more extracurricular stuff not just sports.

The people really made it what it was, from the admissions staff to the janitors everyone was always super nice and uplifting. They were also very straight forward which was extremely helpful.

Don’t follow the kids that are always doing the stupid stuff it’ll just be a waste of your time in the end.
