The future begins right here.
By tailoring studies and school experiences to fit individual needs and interests, Maclay’s Upper School equips students for the demands of college life. This hard work is rewarded -- almost all of our Upper School students attend their first or second choice college after graduation.
Meet Maclay Upper School
"Maclay is a very challenging school but that has ultimately led me to challenge myself to be the best student I can be."
How do you know you’re on the right path? By first exploring the possibilities in front of you.
That’s our philosophy in Maclay’s Upper School, where students discover their potential and explore their options through a unique combination of academic preparation, community involvement, and personal growth.
Maclay's unique Academic Concentrations allow students to pursue their passions with their core and elective course structure.
