The Middle College National Consortium (MCNC) has become a national leader in school reform by implementing a school design that bridges 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 is committed to a set of shared beliefs and instructional practices, pioneered over three decades, that have guided our work with traditionally underrepresented youth toward measurable college readiness and performance.
