*MKA Campuses Closed. Asynchronous Learning, Tuesday, February 24.

Primary School families and families with students in grades 4 - 5 will receive instructions directly from teachers or the school administration. Teachers in grades 6 - 12 will post work for their students on class websites by 10:00 a.m., and students are expected to complete the work.All after-school activities, including athletics and enrichment programs, are canceled or postponed.This decision was made with travel safety and campus readiness in mind, considering we have accumulated over 2-3 feet of snow drifts on our campuses and reports of poor road conditions in the surrounding areas. The safety and well-being of our community remain our highest priority. We look forward to our return to campus on Wednesday.

May Term

May Term reflects MKA’s highest aspirations for each graduating class: it offers them some of the freedom they will experience in the future, encourages them to pursue a passion, asks them to take responsibility for their own learning, and implores them to engage with the world. During the month of May, seniors try out a possible career path, explore an area of interest, develop an area of expertise, or give back to a community by contributing meaningfully to a local organization. For others, it's a chance to give back to a community or a cause, to contribute meaningfully to a local organization, or to return to MKA’s Primary School campus as a teacher’s assistant.

May Term is best used to see the world as it is, to participate vigorously and joyfully in that world, and ultimately, to change that world for the better.

Global Experience Program

Global Experience Program

Students are offered the option to travel and immerse themselves in culture, conservation, and leadership across continents, empowering them to think critically and cultivate empathy for the world beyond our walls. Through this, they gain the skills necessary to become informed, ethical, and purposeful global citizens.

Community Engagement

Community Engagement

Seniors may pursue a project of their own, such as volunteering in outreach programs like Habitat for Humanity. Community engagement is distinguished from community service in that it combines meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience and teach civic responsibility.

Teaching Internships

Teaching Internships

Opportunities for interning at either MKA's Primary or Middle School campuses are available for seniors interested in a teaching experience with young students. These seniors assume the full responsibilities of becoming part of an MKA classroom, and are always favorites with their young charges.
