Manatee Charter School (MCS), of Manatee County
Manatee Charter School (MCS), of Manatee County, Florida is a tuition-free public charter school educating students in grades K-8. Manatee Charter School is governed by the Southwest Charter Foundation, Inc., and is a member of the Charter Schools USA (CSUSA) family of schools. CSUSA is one of the nation’s leading charter school management companies, and the first education management company to receive corporation system-wide accreditation through AdvancED. Manatee Charter School is a Leadership Academy, with a proud mission to provide an inspiring and motivating educational environment that delivers real, measurable results and prepares our students to be the next generation of leaders. To help our students achieve this, MCS incorporated Stephen Covey’s, The Leader in Me program, which instills The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People model into daily curriculum. As a result, our students are able to develop essential life skills needed to thrive in the 21st century. Manatee Charter School is also a school wide Title I charter school, and has been awarded a U.S. Department of Education grant to become a 21st Century Community Learning Center for students in grades 5 through 8 and their families. This program provides free after-school and summer programs for at-risk students, allowing them to participate in academically enriching activities that foster academic and social youth development. Manatee Charter School partners with Junior Achievement, the Manatee Technical Institute, Regions Bank and the Boys and Girls Club to assist in this program. Activities for families are also provided in technology, parenting, English classes, financial literacy and college informational workshops. At the core of Manatee Charter School’s education model is a guaranteed and viable curriculum, instilled by school leadership and a team dedicated to helping our students to achieve success in academics and in life. Personalized Learning Plans are created for each student based on an assessment of their learning style. At MCS we believe each child is unique and tailor lesson plans to support their individual growth. Community pride at our school is built by the required uniforms our students wear every day, allowing them to focus on their education instead of designer labels and fashion trends. We also believe that children enjoy greater success in school when the adults they admire most take an active part in their education. Our student’s parents or guardians are required to dedicate their time through volunteer hours each year for the school. These hours foster closer relationships and our students thrive with this support. Space is still available to have your child join our school family today.
