The Marysville Charter Academy for the Arts (MCAA) is a dependent charter school within the Marysville Joint Unified School District. MCAA is a seventh through twelfth grade, site based school currently in its twenty-third year of operation. The Marysville Charter Academy for the Arts is located in downtown Marysville, a rural, northern California borough of just over 10,000 inhabitants. The Academy serves students living in Marysville, Yuba City, and throughout the Yuba, Sutter, and Colusa counties. MCAA has established a strong record of high academic standards, distinction in college-preparatory education, and excellence in artistic performance. MCAA is a school of choice and is open to all students who go through the application and orientation process. The students, parents, and staff form a community of individuals identified primarily by their common goals of intellectual advancement and development of artistic and creative talents. It is the belief of the school that small class sizes and the overall small school size allow students greater opportunities to achieve their academic and artistic goals within a supportive community.
