Mission Statement
Our mission is to teach our students how to learn and love doing it, how to cultivate their curious minds for the rest of their lives, and how to develop a solid foundation on which to base wise choices and build meaningful futures.
Description
MCS provides students a rigorous curriculum of core subjects to help ensure high levels of academic achievement. We are committed to offering a well-rounded education designed to help students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. All students receive music instruction each day. Other enrichment programs include French, art, physical education, and technology, beginning in Kindergarten. MCS students are from a variety of backgrounds. The majority live in the neighborhood and qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Our schools pride themselves on delivering challenging, standards-driven instruction and fostering a culture of high expectations.
