Mesa Academy
for Advanced Studies, Inc. is a private business providing public
education to students. MAAS is
a non-profit organization registered in the
State of Arizona to provide Charter school services.
MAAS is structured
to provide students with guidance to advance toward the career
they desire.
All teachers have
developed an innovative and challenging curriculum that is aligned
with the Arizona State
Standards for all core classes and advanced studies.
A strong literacy
emphasis, problem-solving and project-centered content area
focus are the three
essential elements of the curriculum. Small class size enables
our teachers to conduct on-going informal
assessments to identify student strengths and new areas of learning
through classroom instruction.
MAAS provides an
overall climate of Character Education in every aspect of the
school to
students in Grade 9 through 12.
Students are offered
the opportunity to explore many careers before actually committing
to one career.
