Faculty

We're proud of the talented faculty that gather at MMWA each winter. The majority are returning teachers who have been with us for many years. For all new teachers, we ask that they have a minimum of a bachelor's degree or work experience in the subject which they will be teaching. We value our mix of faculty members which includes public and private school retirees and recent college graduates embarking on teaching careers. We also draw on local Stowe business owners to share their practical, real world expertise with our students.
