All children at Mingo Creek Academy are expected to be potty trained. This policy is in place because the classrooms are operated in true preschool classroom settings. The PreK classrooms are not equipped with a diaper changing table/station or diapering supplies. (There are strict Department of Social Services standards that apply to changing and disposing of soiled diapers.)
Students ages 3, 4, and 5 in every area of Georgetown and Williamsburg counties are invited to apply. MCA welcomes any race, religion, color, national and ethnic origin, and does not discriminate in policies, scholarship or programs.
Tuition: $540/month $5,400/year
Extended day $200.00/month $1,800.00/year
Thanks to the generosity of donors, individuals, corporations, and foundations, Mingo Creek Academy is pleased to offer generous tuition assistance to help families with demonstrated financial need to afford an MCA education.

Determination of need is made on a case-by-case evaluation for tuition assistance. Once an award is made, families can typically count on a similar award in future years, provided there is no change in financial circumstances. MCA’s commitment to providing an excellent education to all students includes financial assistance awards covering 100% of demonstrated needs.
The admissions process is separate and administered independently of the tuition assistance award process. However, a student must be accepted for admission to be eligible to receive a tuition assistance award.
The online application takes approximately 30 minutes. Be prepared with your tax returns and your child’s long form birth certificate.
Families may tour the school and spend time learning about MCA. Once you complete the application, a tour will be scheduled.
Discussions about applications are held in confidence. Families will be notified in writing of the admission decision.
