History of MCC Mat. Hr. Sec. School
Located on a sprawling 16 acres campus in the heart of Chennai is the Madras Christian College Matriculation Higher Secondary School which enjoys the symphony of ambition, diversity and progress in the city where the sky touches the sea. “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” True to the words of Nelson Mandela, our esteemed institution stands tall and lofty, serving the society for the past 25 glorious years and educating young minds to defeat ignorance and ignite knowledge. The corner stone of Madras Christian College Matriculation Higher Secondary School was laid in the year 1998 for the Glory of the Lord Almighty. This great school, the brain child of Dr. A. Jefferson Christopher (Former Headmaster and Correspondent of MCC Hr. Sec. School) was started as a feeder school to MCC Hr. Sec. School. In 2004 with a divine vision, the school ameliorated into Matriculation Higher Secondary School. .

From the Principal's Desk
I consider myself fortunate and privileged for being chosen to lead this prestigious institution and I thank the Lord Almighty for His divine calling to this noble stewardship. Children are precious gifts from God and it is our responsibility to treasure and nurture them for a brighter tomorrow. In a rapidly changing world, our duty is to enrich the present generation to ensure a promising future and this lofty cause can be accomplished only through education. An educational institution is not just a repository of knowledge, but a “Potter's House” where, with the skillful moulding of the teachers, children take many a beautiful shape and emerge as worthy citizens of the country. In the words of John Dewey "Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” The goal of education is to develop the all-round personality of the students, preparing them to face the challenges of life and that is exactly what we do at MCC Matric. Hr. Sec. School. As educators, we take up the responsibility of not merely transmitting knowledge but also facilitating the discovery of new vistas of learning.
The three important principles of Madras Christian College are Academic Excellence, Social Relevance and Spiritual Vitality which are deeply embedded in all aspects of the school. While enabling the students to excel in academics, we provide wide opportunities for students to achieve in all other co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. A proper education sets students to grow personally, professionally and socially. Students at MCC Matriculation School are involved in many social activities which help them relate to the world outside and realise their responsibility to create a better society to live in. Enrichment programmes are organised periodically to foster spiritual strength in the students and to enable them to withstand life’s battles. Educational and Cultural exchange programmes are the salient features of MCC Matriculation School which promote international learning and global citizenship, thus connecting students with people on the other side of the globe. Teachers at Madras Christian College Matric. Hr. Sec. School equip themselves in Moulding Competent Champions of life, teaching them the ABC of life – Aspire, Believe and Conquer. “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest” are the words rightly stated by Benjamin Franklin. In accordance with this wise saying, we invest knowledge and
skills in the lives of the precious pillars of our country which will definitely pay good dividends tomorrow, thereby fulfilling the vision of the Founders of this great institution.
through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of Him everywhere”. II Corinthians 2 : 14
