ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

PRE-KINDERGARTEN & KINDERGARTEN
MCS provides a supportive and nurturing environment in which children are active learners, growing in self-confidence and respecting people and the environment around them. In this welcoming atmosphere, important lifelong attitudes to school and to learning are established.

In a structured setting, Pre-kindergarten teachers creatively teach readiness skills in English language arts and mathematics and Islamic studies, thus providing a solid foundation for the full curricular kindergarten program.

In kindergarten, students will build on the Readiness Program begun in pre-kindergarten and move toward the full curriculum of reading, language, mathematics, science, social studies, Islamic studies and Arabic.

ELEMENTARY: 1^st – 6^th Grade
MCS provides its students with a challenging, standards-based curriculum, which emphasizes fundamental skills. Subjects include reading, English, mathematics, science, social studies, Islamic studies, visual art, physical education, Persian, or Arabic.  Extra-curricular activities and school field trips will be provided for all classes.

JUNIOR HIGH: 7^th & 8^th Grade
The more demanding junior high program is designed for a student’s personal growth and is structured to provide consistency and support, while fostering each student’s evolving sense of academic responsibility and independence. The curriculum consists of language arts, algebra, life and physical sciences, American history, Islamic studies, computer literacy, visual art, physical education, and Arabic or Persian. Qualified 8^th Grade students have the opportunity to take high school level courses.

HIGH SCHOOL:  9^th – 12^th Grade
The MCS high school program follows a traditional preparatory curriculum with the addition of Islamic Studies. This provides students with the opportunity to be well prepared for the demands of higher education and life, to think and act critically, to solve problems independently and in cooperation with others, and to cooperate and contribute responsibly to our global society.

To graduate, a student must earn a minimum of 28 ½ credits as stated below.  Course credit is awarded when all coursework and exams have been successfully completed. One credit is equal to 180 minutes of instruction per week throughout the year, or its equivalent.
 

MCS courses are taught only if there is sufficient enrollment and staff.
