High School Placement

The transition from middle school to high school is an exciting milestone in an MCA child’s journey. At Mother Caroline Academy, we recognize that this process can feel overwhelming and unfamiliar to some. Mother Caroline Academy provides students and their families with the guidance and support needed to successfully move into high school and beyond.

Beginning as early as 6th grade, the high school placement program at MCA is designed to ensure that students and families feel comfortable and familiar with the requirements necessary to apply to high school. The High School Placement Director assists students and their families throughout every aspect of the high school application process, including the financial aid process. In guiding students through the application process, the Director helps the student and her family identify the student’s strengths and goals in order to help her find the “best-fit” school.

Future Success

Each year our 8th grade students are accepted to a variety of quality high schools, including the Boston exam schools as well as a range of Catholic and private schools. A list of high schools to which our students have recently been admitted can be found here.  The High School Placement and Graduate Support team is happy to discuss the application process and expectations from students and families at any point in your child’s journey leading up to the 8th grade. Ready to start planning your child’s next steps? Please contact Director of High School Placement, Nadine Riggs, at nriggs@mcaec.org. We look forward to ensuring you and your child have the resources and support needed to take these next major steps towards your child’s future.
