Specialized Progams

Mackenzie prides itself on the various specialized programs that run within its walls. These include the MaCS Program, the Advanced Placement Program, the Gifted Program, FIT Certification, and the Student Success Program. Below is a brief description of each invaluable program.

MaCS Program

The MaCS Program began in 1985 for the purpose of giving students many opportunities both academically and socially.

MaCS offers an outstanding learning opportunity for talented students with a high interest in Math, Science and Computers.

MaCS students are allowed to pursue their interests in an environment that stimulates and encourages curiosity, enthusiasm and success.

It is our aim to prepare students for life long learning as they head to university and ultimately professional careers.
