Short-term Study Program for Audit Students

This program is designed to provide visiting overseas (audit) students the opportunity to gain new skills and knowledge through a combination of school-based and hands-on learning; improve their English through lessons and practice in a variety of settings; interact and learn with MCS students to develop friendships and intercultural understanding. 
 

Short-Term Audit Program

Visiting students may avail of the school’s Short-Term Audit Program, which offers a prorated tuition depending on a student’s length of stay. Under this program, students only audit classes and do not earn academic credit. Short-term auditing students will be placed in appropriate grade levels, but class sizes will be kept small to ensure teacher-student ratios that are optimal for student learning. Parents and/or students interested in the Short-Term Audit Program should contact the Principal’s Office and/or the Business Office for availability of seats and for more information.
