Although MCA does not offer school bus transportation for students, MCA does provide one M7 bus pass to each 7th and 8th grade student. For 6th grade students, families can request in writing a bus pass and will get one only if BPS Transportation approves it. For students in grades 3, 4 & 5, they are able to receive bus services only if approved directly through Boston Public Schools (BPS) Transportation.

There is a Parent Liaison Committee that meets 3 to 4 times during the school year with the Head of School and the Administrators. Also, our Parenting Journey Series is offered to all parents who have their students enrolled at Mother Caroline Academy. Parenting Journey works with parents to ensure they have the support necessary to be even better parents to their child(ren). Topics covered in Parenting Journey include, but are
not limited to parenting, mental health, physical health and wellness. Talking points are flexible, giving parents a chance to express what they need. Currently, Parenting Journey is held the first Saturday of each month in person at MCA. Parenting Journey is mandatory for all new families.

MCA provides students and their families with guidance and support necessary for high school placement. The Graduate Support Program at MCA assists students with the high school application process, including financial aid and ensuring that students find the school best suited to their strengths and needs as a student and individual.
