Macon Charter Academy Founder's Page

Macon Charter Academy opened in the fall of 2015 as a K-8 tuition free public charter school. Macon Charter Academy was a Candidate School of the highly regarded International Baccalaureate (IB) program. As an IB Candidate school we were part of a worldwide community of learning institutions aiming to increase student achievement for all of our scholars.

Macon Charter Academy scholars wore a defined uniform and had a longer school day. Spanish, French and Mandarin were among the foreign languages offered.

Our scholars were taught by instructors who had a passion for teaching and engaging our scholars, to help them reach their fullest potential.

In the elementary school we focused on the development of the whole child, both in the classroom and the world outside. Macon Charter Academy capitalized on the natural curiosity of its scholars by emphasizing that the questions are often more important than the answers in a holistic learning environment.

In the middle years we provided a framework of academic rigor that encouraged our scholars to embrace and understand the connections between traditional subjects and the real world, ultimately developing into critical and reflective thinkers.

Macon Charter Academy wanted its scholars to have an opportunity to complete their continuum of international education in a rigorous, college preparatory environment by enrolling in the existing International Baccalaureate program at Central High School.

Our ultimate mission was to build a school where where your child was the most important child.
