MCA's
educational philosophy and guiding principles are built on a foundation of five
(5) strong beliefs. These are the core values upon which My Choice Community
Development, Inc. began working with children over seven (7) years ago in an
after-school program and these beliefs will similarly be applied to operate
MCA.
- INTEGRITY – MCA will operate and serve the
community with the utmost integrity.
- CARING ENVIRONMENT – MCA will provide a
safe, secure, nurturing environment for children and families.
- CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT – MCA will remain
current and adaptable to the needs of the community and families served by
constantly evaluating the partnerships and services MCA provides.
- ACCOUNTABLE – MCA will perform at all
times in a transparent manner that makes them accountable to the community.
- DIVERSITY – MCA will embrace and respect
the characteristics and uniqueness of all individuals.
MCA will offer a comprehensive educational
foundation by placing a strong infusion of Science, Technology, Engineering,
and Mathematics for K-7 into the core curriculum. MCA will choose a
comprehensive curriculum that is aligned with the Next Generation Standards of
the Palm Beach County School District (District) so that if students transfer
between MCA and the District.
