To ease traffic congestion, M.C.M.S. employs staggered starting times for its classes, as follows:

     Pre-school                              9:00am

     Pre-K¾Kindergarten               8:45am

     Grades 1-3                             8:30am

     Grades 4-6                             8:15am

     All classes finish at 3:00pm.  Day care hours are 7:00am until 6:00pm and are available only to M.C.M.S. students.  A few times per year the school closes for business at 12:00 noon in order to begin a vacation period, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter.  Extended vacation periods are at Christmas (two weeks) and at Easter (one week).

     Compared with the other top preparatory schools, an M.C.M.S. education is remarkably affordable.  Below is an outline of our fees for  the 2008-09 school year :
