Student Services

Mission and Goals

Our goal is to enable academic, social, physical, and emotional success by stressing promotion of mental health and safety through individual counseling, education, and service.

Our mission is integrated within the IB mission of developing caring young people who help create a peaceful world based in respect for themselves and others. In coordination with teachers, parents and the greater community, we will provide a comprehensive program addressing the academic and personal/social development of all MCDS community members.
