National Honor Society & Junior National Honor Society
The MACA chapters of the National Honor Society and Junior National Honor Society recognize MACA students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service and character. Members are selected based on a required minimum GPA, an application process, and a review by a council of faculty members. Membership in this prestigious organization is highly selective and, therefore, a great honor. NHS and NJHS members participate in service opportunities and leadership and learning programs.
Fine Arts
MACA’s Fine Arts program includes an enrichment class for all elementary students (K-5), a curriculum-wide art program for middle school (6-8), and Studio Art, Drama, Band, and Worship Team opportunities for secondary students (6-12). MACA artists present their work at various venues in the area (both on and off-campus) as well as participate annually in the ACSI Fine Arts Festival at both the middle school and high school levels.
Robotics
The Robotics club for MS and HS students allows students to learn the principles, engineering, and applications of robot technology in a fun, interactive, and even competitive environment. They learn how to work together as a team to program their robots to follow instructions while troubleshooting problems. The robotics teams compete with other middle school and high school teams from around the area.
