MCS is a supportive educational community that promotes academic excellence through an integrated Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math (STEAM) focused curriculum. Parents are very involved and are critical to the progress of the school, contributing in every way from helping in the classroom to serving on the Board of Directors. Teachers are chosen because of their demonstrated effectiveness and are given the freedom to teach in their own way. Our classes are small, maxing out at 22 children per class, most classes have aides and tutors. There are more computers in the classroom than you might be accustomed to seeing, we have a 1:1 ratio of Chromebooks to students. Computers, the Internet and other technologies are integrated into most classroom activities. We believe that early enrichment enhances the intellectual development of a child. We want our students to develop "successful intelligence" as well as academic skills. We believe that it is possible to individualize education within a group setting by conducting an accurate assessment of each child, aligning the curriculum from grades K-8th, and placing students in classes based on achievement data. We have specialists providing instruction in art, theater, music, physical education, and movement. Each child is encouraged to work at her/his highest level of capability. This is accomplished through block scheduling, that allows the flexibility to move students between grade levels.
