| MICDS offers an academically challenging and well-rounded liberal arts education in a JK-12, co-ed, college preparatory setting. Our class sizes are small (average 14-16), creating a spirit of community and intellectual exchange. More than 70% of our faculty hold advanced degrees. The Middle School (grades 5-8) provides a unique blend of single gender classes (in mathematics, science, language arts, physical education and history) and coeducational classes in the fine arts (visual arts, theater and music) and foreign languages (French, Latin, German, Mandarin, Spanish). Strong student advising in grades 5-12 and college counseling programs in grades 9-12 provide a supportive environment as students work toward academic and personal goals. The MICDS community reflects a commitment to diversity: students come from a variety of schools; parochial, private and public; 25% identify themselves as students of color; families live in more than 60 different zip codes throughout the greater metro area; and 21% receive need-based financial aid. Our enrollment grows with the children: Jr. Kdg. – Grade 4 = 195; Grades 5-8 = 450; and Grades 9-12 = 575. The 100-acre campus has state-of-the-art classrooms, labs, libraries, art studios and athletic facilities, and utilizes advanced technology including wireless access, smartboards, and a laptop computer program. At MICDS, our mission is to help our students discover their unique talents and calling, preparing them not only for higher education, but a life of purpose and service as an engaged citizen of our ever-changing world. |
