To achieve the skill sets an MICDS graduate must possess, it is critical they demonstrate mastery in core content but also have had the ability to apply that knowledge and skills in a variety of contexts. The enhanced Upper School curriculum is designed to engage students in deep intellectual labor yet provide ample opportunity to pursue individual passions and interests.

We invite you to learn more about the enhancements of the curriculum through the content on this page.
