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!
This school is super great. I love it so much this is the best school you could send your child to. As a student here, this school has amazing academics and a strong theme of global and international studies. The food is okay the only problem is how they have the same food everyday. The administration is also very great! One problem is that they changed the name to Academy of International Studies. I personally don’t really like the new school name, but Academy of International Studies fits the theme of global and international studies. The only problem is that the name is not original at all. The teachers are actually good and we learn a lot from the academics that the “Metropolitan Learning Center for Global and International Studies/ Academy of International Studies.”
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!
