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.
