Multicultural Academy Charter School

A public high school (Grades 9-12) founded in 1998, the Multicultural Academy Charter School (MACS) provides a safe and family-like environment where every child is given the opportunity to develop holistically and intellectually. The rigorous curriculum of the school emphasizes academic achievement, multiculturalism, reading, writing, computer technology and the arts. In addition, community service is a cornerstone of the MACS philosophy. While providing a standards-driven and strict, student-centered academic environment, MACS is distinctive in offering students the opportunity to take advantage of an extended school day (3:30 PM -5:00 PM); as well as character education with an emphasis on dignity, respect, and responsibility; career counseling and exploration; and individualized instruction.
