Building Skills, Shaping Minds

Building trebuchets in science class.

Students at MPA’s Ashuelot Valley Academy have been busy learning, creating, and building real-world skills across all grade levels. This month’s newsletter highlights engaging academic work—from exploring Ancient Rome and hands-on science experiments to analyzing history, literature, and current civic systems—alongside creative art projects, collaborative STEM challenges, and physical fitness goals. Students are also strengthening practical life skills through financial literacy and career readiness lessons that emphasize responsibility, communication, and problem-solving. Click below to read the full newsletter and see how our students continue to grow both in and beyond the classroom.
