MCS RI ADMISSIONS PHILOSOPHY

MCS RI Admissions Principles

  • We aim to prioritize equity and accessibility at every step of our admissions process.

  • There is a clear opposition between our vision of accessibility with the reality that, due to limited slots, we cannot accept all who apply.

  • We are a grassroots, young, non-profit with limited capacity. We do our best to meet the needs of our community while also being limited by our capacity as a young non-profit with a very small admissions staff.

  • We aim to adapt our admissions process from year to year based on feedback from our community and our commitment to growth as an organization.

equitable Access at MCS RI

  • We prioritize connecting with families who align with our mission and vision.

  • We prioritize families who reside in the urban core 

  • We prioritize balance and equity in our classrooms across intersections of race, social-economic status, gender, and age, which can vary year-to-year based on attrition.
