Millennium Charter Academy joins the Coalition

By News

We are delighted to welcome Millennium Charter Academy to the Coalition as our newest member! The K-12 charter school, which is located in Mt. Airy, North Carolina, launched in 2007 and currently serves 600 students, offering them a rigorous classical education.

The school’s mission is “to form intelligent, virtuous citizens through classical education.” Education at MCA is built on the three pillars of scholarship, character, and community.

Here’s an excerpt from the school’s website, describing its vision and approach to education:

Millennium Charter Academy will develop citizens of virtuous character who think well and, as leaders, contribute to our communities, our nation, and the world. Our students will understand that a good citizen rules and is ruled; is independent, yet simultaneously in relation with others; and, is grounded in an honest search for knowable, universal truth, goodness, and beauty. To foster this model of citizenship, we will maintain our delivery of a robust, classical curriculum, deepen our implementation of classical education, and continue our principle-based discipline grounded in love for the individual and respect for the corporate good, as well as a belief in redemption and growth …

Welcome to the Coalition, Millennium! We’re excited to partner with you in the year ahead.
