Our school is one of several immersion schools throughout the county. Students from upper Montgomery County transfer to Maryvale for this magnet program in which all instruction is conducted in French. Each program in our school has approximately 300 students following the Montgomery County Program of Studies. We are proud of our school spirit and harmonious learning environment. Our commitment to program and community is further promoted by our student government, community food drive, primary and intermediate grade musicals, and by a partnership with a local nursing home.
Students participate in a school academic fair and competitions such as the National Geography Bee.
All are growing in the use of technology to foster thinking and problem solving skills. Through a Goals 2000 Math Grant more emphasis on math instruction has benefited our students and their families. Maryvale is one of the first Reading Initiative schools allowing 90 minutes of uninterrupted instruction each day in reading and language arts in grades one and two. Our instructional program for all students incorporates Reading Inititives strategies.
