Many schools whose population includes both traditional learners and those who learn differently talk about their aspiration for graduates to attend college. At McLean School, that is not only an aspiration but a reality for nearly 100% of graduates.

In addition, a dynamic group of Division Heads will be partners in shaping the community of the school. Capitalize on McLean's investment in institutional research to empower the office's decision- making: McLean's distinctive commitment to institutional research creates real opportunities for data- driven decision-making.
