High School Placement
The Best Fit For Your Child
The transition from middle school to high school is an exciting milestone in an MCA child’s journey. At Mother Caroline Academy, we recognize that this process can feel overwhelming and unfamiliar to some. Mother Caroline Academy provides students and their families with the guidance and support needed to successfully move into high school and beyond.
Beginning as early as 6th grade, the high school placement program at MCA is designed to ensure that students and families feel comfortable and familiar with the requirements necessary to apply to high school. The High School Placement Director assists students and their families throughout every aspect of the high school application process, including the financial aid process in order to help every graduating 8th grader find her “best-fit” school.
Ready to start planning your child’s next steps? Please contact Director of High School Placement, Nadine Riggs, at nriggs@mcaec.org.
We look forward to ensuring you and your child have the resources and support needed to take these next major steps towards your child’s future.

“When I started at MCA, I didn’t think the school would have a huge impact on my future... Little did I know, over the years I would be shaped into a mature young woman with a bright future. MCA has shown me how much I can impact the future as a young Black woman. It is a one of a kind experience and prepares you for life.”
-Nadia, MCA ‘24, Chapel Hill Chauncy Hall, ‘28
