 4.  The following activities are required:

• Family interview (to be conducted once application and all related materials are received)
• Student testing to determine grade placement (grades K-12)
  (If the student has previously attended MCS, left in good standing, has maintained his/her academic and disciplinary level, and desires to return after a year's absence, no placement test may be required.)
• Student interview with the principal (grades 7-12 only)

Once items 1-3 have been received, an admissions interview will be scheduled. Upon completion of the interview the application is referred to the Admissions Committee for a final decision regarding acceptance.  Families are officially notified as soon as possible.  Re-admission for current school families takes place during the month of February.  Open admission begins March 1 each year.

Attending MCS is a privilege, not a right.  To be accepted into the school, students and parents/guardians must agree to uphold the standards established by the school.  If, during the application process, it becomes apparent that MCS cannot meet the needs of the student, that student will not be accepted into the school.  MCS  admits students of any race, nationality or etnic origin, but at least one parent/guardian must be a practicing Christian.

Parents/guardians need to have read and agree to support the Statement of Faith and policies of MCS before deciding to apply for admission.
