Welcome to MCCPS | Our Mission

Our mission at MCCPS is to be a school that fosters a community that empowers children to become capable, self-determining, fully engaged individuals who are critical and creative thinkers committed to achieving their highest intellectual, artistic, social, emotional, and physical potential. We are dedicated to involving, learning from, participating in, and serving our school community and the community at large.

An educational experience to prepare students for life

Since 1995, MCCPS has been an innovative school serving students in grades 4-8. MCCPS is designed to support each student’s maximum individual growth in order to continue successfully on their educational path, in particular preparing them for high school and beyond.

During the two years of the Lower School - Grades 4 & 5 - our teachers work to strengthen the foundational skills students will need to be successful in our Upper School. We explicitly teach students how to be a student here at MCCPS. This includes learning new technology, public speaking skills, and how to successfully work as a team to solve problems and produce high-quality projects and presentations of learning.

The Upper School - Grades 6-7-8 - build upon the solid foundation laid in the Lower School, fostering a seamless transition for our students. As students progress through the Upper School, they have the privilege of enjoying increased autonomy and a stronger voice in shaping their learning paths, including the opportunity for accelerated math instruction.

We encourage you to explore our website and visit our school to find out more about our Lower School Grades 4-5 and Upper School Grades 6-8 academic pages.
