Academic culture within the Metropolitan Learning Center is quite strong. It is recognizable that the school prides itself on offering its students with challenging yet rewarding education that forces us to push our minds to think beyond its believed capacity. MLC is an International Baccalaureate school, and is the only public school in Connecticut to host both the Middle Years Programme and Diploma Programme. With this rigor, I constantly feel myself being challenged to work harder every year, and to think creatively. Additionally, MLC is an incredibly diverse school, that hosts many exchange students. This allows students to learn about different cultures across the globe!
MLC is a safe and fun learning environment where people can be themselves and feel free to explore a variety of social issues that affect us locally, nationally, and globally. MLC is a diverse school where different cultures are acknowledged and celebrated. The family/community involvement through food/clothing drives and volunteering with the school is a great opportunity for students to engage and bridge together. Administration is caring, supportive, and proactive in our education helping us to excel in our academics and preparing us for college.
I personally have been involved in MLC through academics, sports, and clubs from National Honor Society to Softball to Drama Club. It has been a rewarding experiece for me as a student at MLC. Ive had the pleasure of building some great friendships in the classroom, on field, and on stage. We are all family at MLC with a big Dragon Spirit. I love MLC. My experience at MLC has been FUNtastic!

The school has a very friendly environment and the teachers were approachable and dependable. Throughout my time at Metropolitan Learning Center I have developed great study habits and was given an amazing education for the time I attended. There was a very high amount of school spirit within sports, classrooms, assemblies and afterschool activities. Everyone felt included in events held by students and by the staff. When students have any sort of problem in the school, they are given one on one attention by the guidance counselors, teachers and administrators. Also, during the pandemic, the transition to online/remote schooling felt seamless and was just as easy as taking classes in the actual school. We were provided with the equipment we needed, whether it was technology, books or meeting with teachers and counselors. Finally, I would like to say that I have been enjoying my final semester as a senior at Metropolitan Learning Center and look forward to showing what I learned.
