Clubs/Activities

MKA's comprehensive co-curricular offerings are an essential component of student life at both the Middle and Upper School campuses. At the Middle School, clubs meet once a week during the school day.  Offerings, which range from Student Government and chess, to Jazz Band and Ultimate Frisbee, are designed to allow students the opportunity to pursue a particular activity or develop a new interest.  Upper School Clubs meet both during and after school hours.  With 50 clubs and organizations appealing to interests as diverse as politics, the arts, community service and journalism, students have the opportunity to pursue a passion, as well as developing essential team-building and leadership skills outside the traditional classroom setting

MKA also offers a comprehensive Outdoor Program for students in grades 6-12.  This program provides an alternative learning environment where leadership and teamwork are developed in conjunction with specific skills taught in accordance with the Leave No Trace Principles, part of a nationally recognized outdoor skills and awareness program. Supervised by trained faculty members, outdoor trips vary in length from 2-8 days, and offer opportunities in hiking and camping, rock climbing, biking, kayaking and canoeing, skiing and snowboarding and caving.
