Quaker Values
As an independent Quaker school, we purposefully accept and embrace the primary testimonies of Quakerism and attempt to integrate them into the life of MMCL. The testimonies of Peace, Justice, Equality, Integrity, Community, Service and Simplicity are woven into the fabric of ongoing interactions and learning at MMCL. These testimonies can be identified in the heroes and heroines we celebrate; in our daily interactions with one another; in the books we choose to read and in the elements of social studies, history, and current events we emphasize. Weekly Meeting for Worship as well as regular All School Meetings serves as a central point of the week for all members of the community. Together, as we sit in silence, we find an opportunity for individuals to quietly reflect or provide a thoughtful 'ear' to those who are moved to speak. The Quaker belief in the 'inner light' meshes with MMCL's commitment to cherishing the uniqueness of each child.
