Manchester Academic Charter School (MACS): Providing an Exceptional K-8 Education for Pittsburgh's Youth Through Innovative Charter School Education
We are a pioneering school deeply connected to the Manchester community for over 25 years. At Manchester Academic Charter School, we believe in providing an exceptional K-8 education and a dynamic learning environment where our students thrive. Through our structured and nurturing approach, we inspire and educate students, helping them develop a clear vision of their future. Join us on this incredible journey of academic growth and personal development.
MACS is the premier choice for families throughout the Pittsburgh region. Founded by Dr. Betty and Rev. James Robinson in 1998, MACS has evolved into a leading K-8 charter school. With two campuses and over 400 students, we prepare each child to succeed as confident readers, writers, and problem solvers. Our mission is to provide a dynamic education by nurturing and igniting the dreams of students.
We offer preschool, after-school, and summer programs in partnership with Manchester Youth Development Center and Training Wheels. In 2019, we opened our Middle School at Museum Lab, offering an innovative, hands-on approach to learning in collaboration with the Children’s Museum. At MACS, we provide multiple enrichment experiences to enhance high achievement and goal setting.
