REGIONAL
The Midland Academy, authorized by Central Michigan University, is tuition-free and open to all K-12 students throughout Michigan. Beginning in January 1997 with 68 students, the Academy has grown to over 200 students from Midland, Bay, Saginaw, and surrounding counties.

INNOVATIVE
Higher-level thinking skills and character education are taught in all subjects, in all grades. Every K-12 student must participate annually in co-curricular organizations, athletics and community service. Graduation from the Academy program requires completion of increased credits, advanced courses, and a graduation thesis. Two diplomas of higher distinction are offered: the College Preparatory and the Scholar’s diploma.

AWARD-WINNING
The Midland Academy of Advanced & Creative Studies has received state awards for its teaching staff, high MEAP scores, and student accomplishments. It has become a national model for charter public schools.
