Curriculum
Our curriculum is not textbook dependent but based on the knowledge, skills and the Christian perspective that we want the students to acquire.
- We have a K-12 Director of Curriculum who oversees and develops our curriculum. We are on a 5-year cycle of reviewing each of the curricular areas.
- At MCS, we pride ourselves in exceeding academic expectations, while teaching and applying a Christian perspective in all we do in and outside the classroom. We use standardized testing such as ACT and SAT scores and other State and National standards as we develop a Christ-centered and academically challenging curriculum.
- Northwestern Education Association Measures of Academic Progress (NWEA-MAP Test): Standardized test scores support the fact that MCS offers a high-quality academic experience. While we do not make standardized test taking a focus of our curriculum, MCS consistently scores well above the average and is consistently the highest or among the highest in the area.
