As a charter school, Millennium Charter Academy (MCA) is an independent public school of choice. MCA offers a curriculum and culture in the classical, liberal arts tradition, integrating the humanities, the arts and the sciences. It is a whole curriculum for the whole person.

We hold a high view of humanity, believing that each student comes endowed with worth and value and deserves to be taught in healthy, authentic relationships with parents and teachers. We believe the world makes sense and is understandable. We therefore seek to discover our place in it and then pursue and promote all that is good, true and beautiful. We believe that the ultimate goal of education is the formation of the character of the individual toward wisdom, virtue and human flourishing.

Our teaching focuses on the overarching ideas that all humans must ponder. We reach toward those big ideas while carefully building skills and delivering solid content through quality literature, history and the arts and sciences.

MCA is philosophically and qualitatively different. We have a broad and purposeful view of education. We do much more than teach information. We do much more than teach the subject areas. We teach students how to think, not what to think. We are preparing our students to be virtuous, intelligent citizens who lead in a constitutional democracy, students who think well, write well and speak well.

We follow the state pay scale and participate in the state's retirement system and health plan. We offer dental benefits and other competitive benefits.

A liberal arts education prepares students for a career in most any field, but most especially those looking to educate others.
