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. Advanced Placement courses in Computer Studies, Functions, and Economics are available as well as AP exams in all areas. Visit us: http://wlmac.ca/macs
