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.
