Midland Classical Academy

Classical Enhancement Night is a school-wide event designed to partner with parents by addressing felt needs and sharing practical tools for families at different stages of their MCA journey.

There will be four separate offerings mostly based on grade level available for MCA families. We encourage families to attend the vision cast that most pertains to their needs.

Families with students in more than one grade level or with multiple interests can choose which session(s) best addresses their family's needs. If both parents come, they can split up and attend two meetings.

MCA will give 1 service hour per parent who attends Classical Enhancement Night!

ENGAGING MINDS AMIDST THE AGE OF A.I. 9th–10th Grade + All Grades

| Room A5 | Mockingbird Building

A.I. presents parents and educators with a difficult tension: we do not want students to abdicate their thinking or surrender their unique voice to A.I., yet we also cannot ignore an increasingly powerful tool that is rapidly becoming essential in the modern world. How do we prepare students to use A.I. without allowing A.I. to replace the very thinking, learning, and character formation we are trying to cultivate? In this session, Brandon Shuman will share MCA’s approach to A.I. and offer practical ways parents and tutors can partner together to protect student thinking, cultivate their voice, and teach them to use A.I. wisely.
