Something for EveryoneGetting Involved
Student life at McLean is a mix of big and little moments that define each day and make our school a place where students feel safe, seen, supported, and successful.
It might be a smile in the hallway, a complimentary remark about an academic insight, a pat on the back when the basketball swishes, or applause for a jazz solo. Thanks to strong connections with and among faculty, meaningful and inclusive programming, and an overall optimism about learning, students at McLean are thriving emotionally, socially and intellectually – in and out of the classroom. Our caring community is a winning combination of intention, insight, and commitment to providing an excellent education in a setting to match.
We offer the full range of offerings you’d expect from any college preparatory school – opportunities for leadership and teamwork, where you can pursue your passions or embrace new ones. There is always something to learn, do, or discover at McLean!
