The MICDS Admission Process
The Admission Process begins in the fall of the year before a student’s entry into the school. The process includes:
  • Application and Fee
  • Parent/Student Interview
  • Admission Testing
  • Teacher Recommendations, School Records and Grades
  • School/Classroom Visit
  • School Observation (Junior and Senior Kindergarten)
  • Family Early Action Option for Junior Kindergarten Applicants (see Lower School for more information)
At MICDS we tailor the Admission Process to the age of the student. Please refer to the grade level process, at the right, to see complete details.
Admission to MICDS
MICDS is a co-educational, college preparatory, non-sectarian school for students who:
-          will benefit from a demanding academic program
-          will be responsive to the values of our school community and
-          can contribute to a diverse and well-rounded class

We strive to learn about each student, their strengths, interests, and talents.  Our applicants come from a wide variety of neighborhoods and backgrounds, and we value the diversity, innovation, and the connection to community that they bring with them.  While special consideration is given to siblings and children of alumni, over half of our incoming students are new to the school each year.

MICDS admits qualified candidates without regard to race, religion, or ethnic origin.  Financial aid is available for families who demonstrate need. 

We welcome applications at all grade levels.
Lower School (Grades JK-4)
Middle School (Grades 5-8)
Upper School (Grades 9-12)
