OUR VISION

At MSC, learning is joyful, collaborative and authentic.

We are an IB World Candidate school where curiosity and discovery leads and kids thrive. Driven by the IB lens, students become global thinkers and caring community members through concept-driving learning. Our classrooms buzz with inquiry and arts-rich projects that connect ELA, math, science, social studies and technology.

PROGRESSIVE CURRICULUM

Our progressive curriculum is designed to empower students with critical thinking skills, creativity, and a global perspective. It encourages them to explore, question, and engage in hands-on learning experiences.

OUR DIFFERENCE

Learn More About

The MSC Greenhouse

Our Greenhouse was built in 2010 on top of our gym by NY Sunworks.  Here, students engage with cutting-edge interactive technologies like hydroponic vegetable farming, a rainwater catchment system, a weather station, worm composting, and a vibrant kitchen corner. As budding farmer scientists, students embark on an incredible journey through the entire growth cycle, from seeding to harvesting!

BENEFITS OF A K-8 SCHOOL

At a K-8 school like MSC, students grow up in one caring community. Research shows wider grade spans create a safer, more positive climate and reduce the "new kid" dip when students would switch schools in 6th grade. Studies also find K-8 learners maintain higher confidence in their literacy skills, attend more consistently, and enter high school on stronger footing.
