Character Development Programs
■ Advisory Hours
MCA students participate in our unique 30-minute advisory times regularly.

■ Extended Student Counseling
Student counseling hours have been expanded in 2023-2024 and four counseling teachers are available for student counseling on various issues at the scheduled hours.

The nature-friendly environment at MCA campus enables students not only to appreciate nature, but also to be involved in keeping flowers and trees beautiful through gardening experiences. MCA specially invites an expatriate farming professional for the program.
