MAS in the News 🎥

MILWAUKEE — A Milwaukee charter school is trying to recruit more teachers of color. While 99 percent of their student body is Black, the majority of their teachers are not. A recently published study by the American Economic Journal found that Black students who learn from at least one Black teacher from kindergarten to third grade are 19 percent more likely to go to college.

Milwaukee Academy of Science (MAS), located on Milwaukee’s northwest side, is celebrating A Week in Tech where students from K4 to 12th grade are engaging in unique activities designed to expose and advance our scholars knowledge in the area of coding specifically, and technology overall.On top of working with Code.org, CodeMonkey, Kodable and other coding websites, we will be having a panel speaking with high school students about potential careers in tech,

Partner Feature: Next Level Novas 📚

Helping our Novas reach the next steps of their literacy goals is our Next Level Nova Tutors. Funded by the Milwaukee Rotary Club & through personal donations, Next Level Novas provides individualized one on one literacy sessions to work on foundational literacy skills. MAS employs 9 tutors who work around 6 hours a week in order to support 90 students. We are excited when our scholars reach their goals identifying letters, letter sounds, & spelling sight words and eventually...reading!

"I love participating in Next Level Novas because I know I'm making a difference when I see that the students are showing progress. They are always excited and ready to do fun reading activities.

I have children who attend MAS &

I am a community leader

and thought this would be a wonderful way to serve youth and families across the City of Milwaukee...MAS is very welcoming school and I enjoy being there."
