Bring your family and come:

We’ll also have:
- Food, Ice cream and refreshments

While construction is still underway, this is your opportunity to step into the vision of MCA. We’ll have building plans and designs available and will walk you through how the space will come to life for our students.
Whether you’re already enrolled, considering MCA, or simply curious - we would love to welcome you.
Open to all in the community and MCA families.
