HIGH SCHOOL PLACEMENT

beyond mcs

Manhattan Country School students gain admission to highly-selective, best-fit high schools, very often their first choice selections. Alumni thrive in a variety of the finest schools in the region, including public and specialized schools, performing arts academies, religious institutions, independent day schools, and boarding schools. They enter ninth grade with a strong sense of identity, well-prepared to excel academically and engage deeply with their communities in high school and beyond.

“A lot of people in my class have gotten into really, really good schools and I’m happy that they have. We’ve all worked really hard throughout the admissions process. So, I feel like everyone has been placed where they need to be.”
