There will be four separate offerings mostly based on grade level available for MCA families. Each seminar will address felt needs and share practical tools for parents of those age groups. We encourage families to attend the vision cast that most pertains to their needs. If you have students in more than one grade level or multiple interests, you can choose which session best addresses your family's needs. If both parents come they can split up and attend two meetings. 

 

MCA will give 1 service hour per parent who attends CE Night!

Andy Zinkgraf will share practical advice about revisions, checking grades, communicating with tutors, etc. as you help your student transition to and thrive in MCA's Upper School.

 

Did you know that high school begins in 8th grade at MCA? Jared Nelson will equip parents and students with strategic insight about the different opportunities MCA offers and what the outcomes look like on a high school transcript. 

 

In case you haven't already noticed, 9th and 10th grade is where things get hard at MCA. It can be tempting for students and parents to really begin to wonder if the reward is worth the effort. This is especially true if the larger vision is lost amidst the hustle. Brandon Shuman will share wisdom, tools, and encouragement to support parents who are supporting their 9th and 10th graders through their upward ascent out of the cave.  

 

Stephanie Goeke and/or AJ Perea will empower parents with practical wisdom about how to finish MCA well and prepare for what's next. Topics will include navigating the junior year, applying to college, and encouraging your senior as he/she prepares for their Thesis.
