Morris Academy for Collaborative Studies

Overview written by the school: At MACS our students learn by doing. Our staff builds relationships with students, parents, & community to continuously develop systems that empower the whole student. We put students first by setting high expectations while meeting student needs so they can work collaboratively & think critically to become creative problem-solvers who will lead by example in all endeavors. We implement a series of data-informed, student-centered initiatives, project-based learning, & socio-emotional support structures that use evidence to meet needs and maximize equity for all. Passion, persistence, & knowledge of the whole student flow in & out of these systems as connective threads that encourage high standards & real-world relevance in our practices.
