Our Commitment to Those Who Serve
Mater Dei Academy is proud of its support for military families. Just as we teach our students to serve their community, we strive to make enrolling at Mater Dei Academy as welcoming and flexible as possible for the families who serve our country. We understand that military life does not always follow the school calendar, and we work with families on enrollment timing and tuition assistance.
If you are a military family exploring Mater Dei Academy, we would love to hear from you and can connect you with current military families and several staff members to share their experience.
