Multicultural Academy CS

A public high school (Grades 9-12) in its thirteenth year of operation, the Multi-Cultural Academy Charter School (MACS) provides a multi-cultural and safe environment where every child is given the opportunity to develop holistically and intellectually. The educational program is supported by a computer network, as well as SmartBoards for effective communication, learning, and research. The curriculum of the school emphasizes academic achievement, multi-culturalism, reading, writing, computer technology, and the arts. In addition, community service is a cornerstone of the MACS philosophy. While providing a standards-driven and student-centered academic environment, this charter school is distinctive in offering students the opportunity to take advantage of an extended school day (3:30 PM -5:00 PM) as well as Saturday sessions (8:30 AM -11:30 AM); character education with emphasis on dignity, respect, and responsibility; career counseling and exploration; and individualized instruction. The mission of MACS is to educate the whole child by providing a safe environment where students can learn and teachers can instruct while emphasizing the importance of parental involvement in the educational process.
