This school has such a friendly environment. When I came to this school I took a tour and they let me play on the playground to "test it" as they talked. I came for my first day of school and I was very lonely. I didn't have any friends but by the end of the day that changed completely. this school is always keeping me going my teacher is so nice she helps with everything our class does. she makes charts for everything I need to do. the office and staff are also very, very nice. I couldn't think of going to another school. this school over-all is the right choice for me and ght just be the right school for you

A great family environment. I really appreciated the support not only for my student but my family as well. My son was treated with respect and loved knowing that his teachers and the staff appreciated him for who he was and he was always encouraged to be the best version of himself in his academics, music interest, and sports interests. He also enjoyed the community outreach projects, hands-on learning experiences & the creativeness of the teachers and they're fostering a creative spirit in the students. If you are looking for a school that fosters a strong sense of community and student success then MACS is the place!
