Parent Testimonials

Dr. Milton and Mrs. Beth Costa, parents of James Costa (Class of 2008)  "We are very pleased and grateful for what the staff and faculty at MMA have done for our son... Please let all know what a tremendous influence they are having on his life and what a blessing we consider it to be for him to be attending Massanutten."

Mr. Jim Howard, father of Nathan Howard (Summer Program 2007)  "We gave Nathan the opportunity to attend MMA this summer with these simple instructions - "find the real Nathan." It is clear that not only has Nathan found himself at MMA, but he has also found the key to his future and we could not be more grateful to you and MMA for this opportunity."

Mr. Jerry and Mrs. Sheila Cave, parents of Connor Cave (Class of 2007)  "As soon as we saw the improvement in the summer, the answer for the rest of the year was obvious. Massanutten was the best thing we've ever done for our son. It was so apparent that three of his friends enrolled next semester." 

Mrs. Patricia Dalesio, mother of Austin Dalesio (Class of 2007)  "As we are ending Austin's senior year...I feel I need to let you know personally how 'thankful' we are that we discovered Massanutten Military Academy. From the very first contact with you and MMA...it has been a wonderful experience for Austin and us, his parents. As Austin stated to me last week...'Mom, I have learned more in one year at MMA than I have learned in all my other three years at my other high schools.'
MMA has provided Austin with tremendous opportunities to grow and learn as a person, athlete and student. His confidence in his abilities to achieve and take charge of his future gives me enormous pride in all his personal accomplishments. I am so excited for him to use all the wonderful and important 'life tools' that he has learned and lives at MMA. As we help him 'go off to college,' there are no hesitations or feelings of uncertainty. We know he will do well and be able to handle many 'away from home' situations in an appropriate, positive and productive manner."

Ms. Carolyn Staats, mother of Samantha Staats (Class of 2011)  "At this time of confusion and disbelief while watching the tragedy at Virginia Tech, I want to thank you for keeping my Samantha safe.  MMA has changed our lives forever.  I believe, that because of you, she will be ready for a lifetime of success.  Thank you for all that you do."

Mr. William and Mrs. Marian Willauer, parents of Alex Willauer (Class of 2005)  "We chose MMA after 5 years at another military school because of small classes and lots of positive reinforcement, and an emphasis on academics and military structure."
