Academics

Up until 1975 MTCS offered Kindergarten through eighth grade classes, when the decision was made by the Board of Directors to add one grade a year until a complete high school was available, with the first class graduating in May 1979. In December 1978, MTCS received full accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
