Middle School
Grade 5-8
Welcome to MCDS Middle School! We are so happy you’re here!
The middle school years are a special time of transition where students experience greater independence, figure out who they are, and find their place in our world. At MCDS, we are here to help students in their journey from childhood to young adulthood by offering a well-rounded academic framework, a robust advisory program to support social-emotional development, and a rich array of extracurricular activities.
Middle school at MCDS is the start of the IB Middle Years Programme. The MYP is designed with children at the center with a goal of preserving students' curiosity through using an inquiry model to develop conceptual understanding. Our dedicated teachers ensure a safe and stimulating learning community and provide students with experiential learning opportunities where they can explore their passions, develop critical thinking skills, and cultivate a strong sense of global awareness and empathy. We take pride in knowing each learner and serving their individual needs.
I look forward to working with and for you and your family.
With appreciation,
Rebecca Polak
Head of Middle School
