MCS provides many opportunities for students to showcase their artistic abilities. From the time students enter primary as 3 year olds, they engage in song and dance in the classroom. They perform with their class or as a group, combining with other classes, at assemblies throughout the year. Whether singing our school song “Planting the Seeds of Peace” or dancing the “Virginia Reel”, our smallest performers are always a hit with parents, faculty, and older students who come to watch.

In elementary, students also sing, dance, and perform short skits in assemblies. Students in upper elementary perform in two choir concerts each year. They also have the opportunity to perform at special events on campus.

The after school jazz class offers a great opportunity for aspiring dancers. The students practice once a week and then performs two outstanding shows in our gym for the MCS community to enjoy.

Adolescent students put on one major performance each year after winter break. Past performances have included “Shakespeare in Hollywood”, “Into the Woods”, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “The Tempest,” “Macbeth,” and “Memoriam”. In addition, the ukulele ensemble performs at our assemblies and graduation ceremony.
