It has been a privilage to watch my school grow so much in the past few years. With our new

Classical education has helped me think logically and understand the English language better through the learning of Latin. The teachers at MCS are of the highest quality. They love their students. This is obvious because most of them could teach anywhere but they chose MCS, despite being underpaid or being a volunteer, because they can see amazing things happening here.

My child has attended MCS since 4 years of age. The quality of education is superb and it is proven by the fact that these teachers WANT to be here. they WANT to be with our children and to teach them in a warm and loving environment - rather than be 'tenured' and coast along in the public system.

This is proven in the high MEAP and SAT test scores and in the proven success of our graduates. I could not imagine my child going to the Midland public school system. not for the lack of the Christ centered teachings, but because of the QUALITY, RESPECT, and LOVE OF TEACHING which is displayed each and every day. The tuition is worth every penny - my child loves it! Read less

The best thing that I could do for my son in the 4th grade was to put him in this school. He is a child that needs the smaller classes and one on one teaching. A smaller school enables the parents to interact with the teacher and staff to make behavier and disipline better for the student and learning.
