Leadership Programs
MCA students are encouraged to take part in leadership programs, including the MCA Leadership Camp held twice a year. At the camp, many students find their leadership potential and learn useful skills. Selected students will also be given opportunities to take part in good leadership programs organized by overseas education institutes, such as the program run by Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth.
Character Development Programs
■ Gardening Program
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.
■ Advisory Hours
MCA students participate in our unique 30-minute advisory times regularly.
During the session, students in small groups have opportunities to actively communicate with the advisor to talk about any issues they may have in their school lives. Advisor teachers apply a specific theme (e.g., friendship or ethics) while running the session.
Music Program with
Korea Youth Orchestra (Lindenbaum)
In collaboration with Korea Youth Orchestra (formerly known as Lindenbaum), MCA offers a special music program. MCA students learn basics of music theories and playing skills of diverse instruments.

For ice hockey sessions, our students visit an ice rink in Suwon, and coaches from Namhyunhee Fencing Academy, run by an Olympic medalist, are invited for fencing sessions.
