The McNeill Academic Program is a comprehensive program offering a range of components that weave together to support students in reaching their academic goals.

Through each program component, McNeill students will:

  • Get to develop their own academic expectations and standards through baby直播app and staff support
  • Be immersed in a diverse caring community
