Monroe Demonstration Academy offers our scholars unique opportunities to engage in real-world learning through the micro-society model as productive members of our micro society, Monrovia. Monroe scholars are encouraged to search for real-world applications for their learning, and our teachers use technology and project-based learning to create true 21st century academic experiences. In our micro society, each scholar holds a job and contributes to the health and success of Monrovia, learning about citizenship, different professions, life skills, budgeting, and personal finance.

Students also build strong relationships with each other and with their teachers through our TRIBES program, which places a strong emphasis on school community as a support and assuring the healthy development for day-to-day struggles our scholars may face.
