Mater Academy Charter School opened in Miami-Dade County, Florida in August 1998. Due to it exemplary performance, the charter school contractual agreement with Miami-Dade County Public Schools was recently renewed for an additional fifteen years.  The school has been recognized as an “A” school for the past four years under the Florida School Recognition Program.

Our mission is to provide a loving, caring, and supportive educational environment that furthers a philosophy of respect and high expectations for all students, parents, teachers, and staff.

In establishing an innovative program, the Mater Academy Charter School has identified three basic concepts:

• A multi-age learning environment that allows children to learn and progress at their individual pace
• Small classroom sizes
• A parental involvement program which ensures an active role in their child's education
