MAS Students Begin Hybrid Learning!
This week MAS will welcome over 500 students back to the building for a hybrid program. We are thrilled to reopen safely to support scholars in K4-12th grade after over a year of full virtual learning. We have many measures in place to make sure everyone is safe. Teachers will make sure that our students practice and learn their new social distancing routines. Welcome back Novas!

Thanks to our collaboration with MCW, all of the Milwaukee Academy of Science staff were given the opportunity to be vaccinated during March. As a result, we are able to welcome our scholars back with this extra layer of protection against COVID-19. This week, we have been overwhelmingly impressed as our hybrid students follow safety protocols & are so grateful to have chatter of scholars fill the halls of our building once again!
