Curriculum Overview
The MCI curriculum is designed for each individual student to find their own path to success. The foundation of this curriculum is our wide array of courses, which give students the freedom to pursue a number of different topics and studies in varying levels of rigor and difficulty. However, a curriculum cannot be based solely on classes and a heavy course load. The MCI curriculum is supported by a diverse set of distinctive opportunities for growth and learning.

time-honored as the Manson Essay. All seniors are required to complete a senior project. The projects are designed to expand the skills of all students and are not limited to any area of knowledge.
