Welcome to Thomas MacLaren School
Thomas MacLaren School, a 6th-12th grade charter public school, opened its doors in the fall of 2009. From our humble beginnings renting space in a local church for 77 6th-9th grade students, we have now moved into our own campus which will easily accommodate our growing student body of close to 500 students this year. Over the past eight years, MacLaren has racked up impressive awards (School of Distinction, John Irwin Award of Excellence, High School Growth Award) and test scores (Class of 2017 state record-breaking ACT composite average of 29.8) while daily undertaking the task of developing young men and women who are fully human and fully awake to the world. We expect each student to master history, mathematics, science, literature, Latin and English, as well as to gain familiarity with at least one other language and fine arts. With our seven-year sequenced curriculum, we confidently help our students to reach this goal.
