Student Welfare

Student welfare is important to us at MC Academy. As well as inspiring and encouraging our students, we also provide support and assistance to ensure they feel at home and have an unforgettable experience with us.

We pride ourselves on taking care of our students and provide dedicated welfare officers who are available to contact at any time for support, whether personal or academic. Our staff are able to assist with any problems that might arise, in the quickest possible way.

We treat all of our students with care and respect according to their needs and without discrimination of any kind.
