Your MMS Journey
Begins Here.

We don’t believe in competitive admissions.
We believe in good fit.

Every family who joins MMS starts with a conversation. We want to understand your child, your questions, and what you’re looking for in a school — before you ever fill out an application.

If MMS is the right environment, that will be clear. If it isn’t, we’ll tell you honestly — and help you think through what might be.

How to Apply

Five steps to enrollment.

01

Inquire

Submit an inquiry form. We respond within two business days to answer initial questions and share more about the school.

02

Attend an Open House or Tour

Visit the school during a work cycle. See the classroom in motion. Meet the guides. Ask everything.

03

Submit an Application

Complete the application online. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Priority deadline: February 1.

04

Student Visit Day

Your child spends a morning in the classroom. This helps us understand fit — and gives your child a chance to experience the environment firsthand.

05

Enrollment Decision

Families receive decisions within two weeks of the student visit. Enrollment contracts and deposits are due within 14 days of acceptance.
