The MARC
The Maclay Academic Resources Center (MARC) provides free academic support, peer tutoring, test preparation, and homework space for Upper School students at Maclay. Staffed by full-time faculty and honor students, the MARC is an excellent resource to help students balance a challenge load, receive short term help for a difficult unit in an academic subject, or have a quiet place to study.
