My City School seeks inquisitive children with
supportive families who understand
that their children are capable learners with
much to contribute to the greater community. Join this amazing journey.
This is an educational model that depends on the support and energy of its small community, and we seek like-minded parents with a commitment to support the educational environment and results that children who learn differently deserve.
My City School provides academic and social support for its students during the school day but does not provide additional therapies that individual students may need. Our teaching team is experienced in working with a range of learning styles, but is not able to accommodate students on the spectrum or with behavioral challenges. However, we are interested in sharing our planning process with families who wish to take initiative to replicate this model for a wider range of learning challenges.
My City School is currently funded by participating families with the capacity to pay tuition commensurate with peer schools in the area. Some financial assistance is available, and is offered each year. Find more information about enrollment here.
OUR PROCESS
Step 1: Once a family has contacted MCS, an initial 45 minute phone call will be scheduled to discuss what the prospective family is looking for in an educational environment for their child.
Step 2: If through the initial screening call, it sounds like MCS could be a potential fit for the family, MCS will review all recent reports from the last four years (report cards, all assessments or evaluations).
Step 3: The prospective family attends a 1 - 1.5 hour visit, where a MCS specialist will take the family through the program in detail and identify program elements that align with the recommendations from the outside evaluations. Also during this time, MCS may identify and or discuss potential outside services that may be needed to support the whole child in their educational journey.
Step 4: If the family and MCS continue to feel MCS could be the best fit for the child, the student will attend a 2-3 participation visit days. During this time, the student will join the scheduled class activities, as well as work with MCS specialists looking at their willingness to learn differently, curiosity levels, motivational factors, EF, Critical Thinking, math, reading and writing skills.
Step 5: Once the potential student visit concludes, feedback is collected from all specialists and teachers that interacted with the student. MCS will then reach out to the prospective family and offer enrollment or other alternatives that best support their child.
