mission-statement

At MICDS, we strive each day to uplift our bold Mission as we prepare the whole person with the intellectual, social/emotional, and leadership skills they need to be successful and positive contributors to a diverse, global, and rapidly changing society. Below are the ways we—together as school administrators, faculty, staff, parents, and students—bring our Mission to life.

Bringing our Mission to life.

Fostering Compassion and Inclusion

We cultivate a learning environment in which all students, faculty, staff, and parents are valued, affirmed, and included as equal members of the community, embracing and celebrating race, color, religion, family structure, national or ethnic origin, socioeconomic background, sexual orientation, and gender identity. In addition to celebrating the diversity among us at MICDS, we also prepare our students to become culturally competent as they learn to thrive in a diverse world. Foundational to that preparation involves self-awareness, embracing difference, critical thinking, personal responsibility, and treating others with respect and dignity. In particular, we strive to impart compassion and empathy.
