High School at MAS (Grades 9-12)

A College-Preparatory High School Focused on Student Success

At MAS Charter School, our high school (grades 9 through 12) is designed to ensure that every student graduates ready for college, career, or the military. Our rigorous curriculum, extended instructional time, and dual-credit college opportunities set students apart, equipping them with the academic and life skills needed to thrive beyond high school.

We provide two to three times more instructional time in core subjects than traditional high schools that serve a similar demographic to ours, ensuring underserved students build advanced literacy, mathematical reasoning, and critical thinking skills. That’s because we believe that all students should graduate with a clear plan for their future, and we provide the resources, support, and opportunities to make that happen.
