"Applying for the MaCS Program was definitely one of the best decisions I've ever made. I'm having so much fun! Being a part of a group striving for more challenging goals is helping me become a stronger, confident person."

"From my first month in Grade9, I learned that being an individual of the MacCS program wasn't about being the fastest human calculator or the smartest chemistry student. Instead, it was about the collaboration and growth of a group of young minds that wanted one thing -a surrounding environment that brings out the best leader in all of us. Nearing the end of my high school chapter, I truly believe that's what we all achieved."

"Throughout the two years I have spent at Mackenzie, the MaCS program has been able to propel me to perform at my best. The teachers and students here are the most supportive and welcoming people you will ever meet. If you are looking for a challenge or an amazing highschool experience, the MaCS program is the way to go!"

time being a "MaCS kid"! It really took out the best
in me. I've met so many wonderful people, and will always remember
the trips to Muskoka and Mattawa!"

"One year in the MaCS
Program was an amazing experience and I'm really looking forward
to the next three years. The best part about MaCS is that even
with the enriched academic environment, the school still provides
amazing opportunities to get involved in other things such as
clubs and sports. I think selecting Mackenzie as the school for
my highschool career is one of the best choices I've made."

"The MaCS Program
helps students discover and develop their potentials in Math,
Science, and Computers. It provides students with a deep understanding
of these subjects through an enriched curriculum and engaging
learning styles. In no other program would you meet such bright
motivating students and dedicated, innovative teachers."

"When I first joined the MaCS program,
I thought class would be boring and that nothing fun would happen,
and that nobody would be interested in or play sports. I've now
seen that MaCS classes are just as fun other classes, and the
students are into both academic and athletics. Not only do you
have fun, but you also learn in a much higher level environment.
This balance, and the program as whole, is really amazing"

"The best part of the MaCS Program
is how you are surrounded by like-minded individuals who have
similar work habits and goals. Working alone is tough, but when
you work hard with other people, it's much easier. I've met many
new friends, whom I can share many things and experiences on a
whole different level. This program has ultimately shaped me to
become who I am today."

"The MaCS Program consisted of well-rounded
individuals. Everyone could relate to each other easily so there
was no problem making friends. The environment was also very competitive,
since everyone basically worked at the same level. There was competition
but everyone supported each other throughout the end. The teachers
were also really great! The unique trips, the quiet classrooom,
the inspiring lessons - I gained memorable experiences I think I
would not have been able to get anywhere else."

"MaCS was a really great experience
to be a part of in high school. Having completed my first year of
University, I can see just how well we have been prepared. The challenging
course work the program provides is great preparation for the University
workload. MaCS classes themselves were a lot of fun too. Teachers
were really involved and got the students involved too. MaCS was
a really great place to meet a lot of good friends with similar
interests."

"The MaCS program proved to be
very resourceful. I gained the opportunity to experience and learn
new things I never thought was possible in high school. This program
helped me to get in to a good program in university. I recommend
this program to any student who wants good university preparation."

me exceed in my early my early high school years and prepare myself
for my senior year. The extra preparation has armed me for the
future."

"The reason why I chose the MaCS program
over the IB program is because I envisioned MaCS students to be
well rounded. And I was right! The MaCS learning environment is
fun even though it's an enriched program. The MaCS program has taught
me to think diferently which I can apply for everyday situations.
Joining the MaCS program is the best educational choice i have made
thus far.

"After I entered university, I found out
how valuable MaCS was. Among peers from a variety of schools,
I am able to confirm that MaCS is, indeed, one of the best high
school programs that you can find in Ontario. The dedicated teachers
are very helpful and enthusiastic, while fellow students in the
program are talented and hardworking. One thing that I liked the
most about MaCS is the abundance of opportunity. From US FIRST
Robotics to Science Olympics, from science fairs to numerous Advanced
Placement courses, whatever that you can think of is available
right here at MaCS. If it’s not here, you can always start one.
That is why, when someone asks me, “Where did you go for high
school?” I am always proud to say MaCS at William Lyon Mackenzie
Collegiate Institute."
