APPLICATION PROCESS

HOW TO APPLY

Your MCDS admissions journey begins with the Inquiry Form. Once you submit the form, you’ll be added to our mailing list and our Enrollment team will use the information you share to learn more about your family, your child’s interests, and where you are in the school search process.

Are school tours only available in English?

No, we are proud to offer tours in multiple languages. Our vibrant community includes a diverse group of faculty members, parent ambassadors, and student ambassadors representing more than 33 countries.

Thanks to this global network, our Enrollment Office is delighted to offer personalized tours in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and French, among other languages.

What documents will I need to provide during the application process

Once you apply, an enrollment officer will get in touch with you to guide you throughout the process. We will be with you every step of the way.

We ask all families to provide a copy of their child’s birth certificate and passport. To understand your child’s academic journey, please provide official report cards covering the current school year as well as the previous year, ensuring all individual semester, quarter, or trimester grades are clearly visible. If your child is already taking high school courses, we will also need their official transcript. Please note that any high school credits earned abroad require a course-by-course evaluation. We want to hear from your child’s educators, so we require a few standard recommendation forms provided directly by MCDS. Please also include official English proficiency test scores and a completed I-20 checklist, if applicable.
