Parent Choice Schools
Parent choice schools represent an evolution in the education of our students. These schools offer students and parents an opportunity to choose the learning environment that best suits their goals and interests. "We initially chose The International School at Mary Mae Jones for its vibrant diversity, but soon discovered it offers much more beyond. MMJ nourishes students with heart, transforming cultural transitions into a confidant journey where every unique dream learns to shine." -Michelle Wang & Ivan Liu (Parents of Chloe Liu) Chloe Liu Class of 2037

Arts
We offer students, kindergarten through a child's senior year, opportunities in band, marching band, choir, orchestra, theater, visual arts, debate, and forensics. "The arts program in Bentonville Schools taught me discipline, creativity, and the value of true teamwork. I learned that growth takes commitment and that success depends on everyone working toward the same goal. Most importantly, the arts showed me how to dedicate myself to something bigger than myself: creating something meaningful together." -Sophia Hendrix Class of 2026
