We are a nationwide network of high schools and colleges that work collaboratively to provide
underserved high school students the opportunity to access college courses and earn an

d communication, and support for perpetual growth of leadership skills for all constituents. Centered on six Design Principles, MCNC schools bridge the high school and college experience for underserved youth leading to increased access to and success in college. A school-based, data driven practitioner network, Middle College National Consortium has successfully pioneered innovation in programs that serve districts, community colleges, universities, both public and charter; around the country for over three decades. KPI works with the MCNC team to offer blended professional development for teachers and administrators through Polilogue, our online community.
