While I attended MCS, it was a very tailored experience, ultimately trying to prepare me for life with a biblical outlook. While it excelled in that aspect, in terms of academics and curriculum preparing me for school, I can say it could show improvement with more well-rounded teachers. The school gave me a moral foundation but in terms of academics when I entered the undergraduate world, I ultimately felt ill-prepared.

School used to be great, but now kids to teacher ratio are very high, parking is horrible at this school, 1/3 of the parking lot is designated for teacher, the other 1/3 is designated for students, last 1/3 they designated about 10 spots for auction. actual parking space in school for parents are only about 40 spaces, this school also try to mediate everything instead of teaching the kid who did wrong and learn how consequence works, you will not get a good answer if your kid gets into problem with other kids in school. This school unfortunately has become a school that just cares about money.

MCS is a good school but is not very diverse in thinking. The academics are difficult and the amount of homework is quite intense. However, the teachers are supportive and available to help and care about the kids. There is also quite a difference in the caliber of teachers but they all still care about their students.
