Discover Midtown Community School

Our school was founded in 2013 through a concert of deep community roots and the support of a national network. We have been on a ten-year journey marked with key successes.

Our Mission

Our school exists to foster a culture of belonging and academic excellence that supports the development of well-rounded individuals.

Our Values

As a school community, we are guided by our core values of Belonging, Growth, Wholeness, and Community. In living out our mission and core values, our school commits to creating an environment where every student is seen, supported, and held to high expectations. We strive to foster a community that develops strong students that are grounded, self-aware individuals prepared to contribute meaningfully to the world around them.

Belonging

We make people feel included and important.

Growth

We are always learning, changing, and getting better.

Wholeness

We help students feel ready for anything in life.

Community

We take care of ourselves and each other.

The core values are celebrated among our community throughout the school day. Students give shout outs to one another in their classroom community circles, and teachers celebrate successes of all kinds by recognizing students through shout outs during announcements every Friday morning and at our monthly Friday Morning Sing community assembly.

Over 50% holding Master’s degrees

Over 50% having worked, lived, or studied extensively outside the United States
