MACS will offer grades K-5 for the 2024-2025 school. We will grow an additional grade
each year until we are a full capacity of K-8.
MACS offers a curriculum focused on 21st century skills and digital citizenship to help our scholars be prepared for their futures. These programs include learning coding as a language, responsible social media usage curriculum, responsible internet usage, and integrated units on computer science. Our goal is to equip scholars with the skills they would need to be prepared for a digitally interconnected society
Whole Child Approach is the belief that the needs of the scholar are at the center of all
decisions driving MACS. The master schedule, routines, strategic goals, everything starts with
the needs of our scholars, and then we build structures of support around those needs. For
example, we start and end everyday with Crew time as a way for scholars to set goals, and
reflect on how they day went. In other words, it is the belief that a school should give more
than an academic foundation to kids, but that we should equip them to lead whole, healthy,
happy lives.
Daily and through all decisions. While more than an hour per day is dedicated to focused
social emotional learning through our morning and afternoon CREW meetings, a whole child
perspective comes into focus as we consider all decisions ranging from academics to
discipline to nutrition. We prioritize what is best for the growth of a scholar over a bottom
line. At MACS, all faculty and staff are given more than 10 hours of annual training on whole
child support, and leverage this training in their approach with students daily.
HMH Math, StemScopes, Social Studies Weekly, & a number of digital platforms are used to
support instruction at MACS.
EL Education has a specific school design model that has had success in diverse
communities. EL Education was selected as the top curriculum model in 2018, has over 25
years of experience developing school design, and is currently in place at several successful
metro Atlanta schools. Prior to the launching of MACS, founding team members shadowed
and studied best practices at many local and nationally recognized EL schools to establish
strong foundations of teaching and learning at MACS. MACS uses EL Education to support
our Literacy instruction.

The Georgia Department of Education generates a GTID for all public school scholars. This is the identification number that is used for all school-related documents and reporting. If your child has never been enrolled in a Georgia public pre-k or public school we will request the social security number as this is what allows this alternate ID to be generated.
