MCS - Admissions

Welcome to Manhattan Country School!

Finding the right school for your child and family can feel overwhelming, but we invite you to consider this as an opportunity to learn more about who your child is as a learner and person, as well as your own values about education and community. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!

MCS is unique among New York City City independent schools as we have a working farm in the Catskills, a sliding-scale tuition program and a legacy of helping to develop young people who are intellectually curious, and are socially and environmentally conscious. They are skilled community builders and committed change agents who carry MCS and its values of equity forward with them. We are a school that values academics with purpose: we use a progressive approach in our classrooms to focus on the academic, as well as the social emotional development of our students.

We look forward to partnering with your family in the coming months. Our goal in admissions is to provide you with opportunities to learn about MCS. Please use our website as a tool to begin this learning. We encourage you to read about our admission process, Mission and Values, and our academic program.

In order to create the safest environment for our youngest, unvaccinated students and applicants, we will engage with you through an online admissions process and even though we will be remote, we will be right by your side. There will be several opportunities during this process to connect with our teachers, students and parents. We expect to open up our building for tours in January, 2022.
