MCA Overview

As we close the final chapter of our school’s story, I find myself filled with both pride and gratitude. In just two short years, we built something truly remarkable—a community of learners, dreamers, and doers who believed in the power of second chances, new beginnings, and limitless potential.
Though our time together was brief, it was meaningful. We saw students rise to challenges, form lasting bonds, and step into their futures with courage and determination. The spirit of Middle College Academy lives on in each of you—in your goals, your growth, and the impact you’ll continue to make wherever life leads.
 
Let this not be an end, but a beginning. Carry with you the lessons, the memories, and the unshakable belief that your dreams are still worth chasing. Never forget that your voice matters, your journey is unique, and your future is still wide open.
 
Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. You made MCA more than a school—you made it a family.
 
While I will miss you all incredibly, I know that all of you are in good hands with the new Middle College Program opening in the 2025-26 school year. 
 
 Regards,

Welcome to the Middle College Academy!

Welcome to the Middle College Academy!

This school gives students a big head start when transferring to a four-year university, saving both time and considerable money in tuition. For those students who are motivated to earn a national certification in a high-wage, high-skill profession such as industrial manufacturing, nursing or other fields, they can be well on their way to having completed a certification program. 
 
While at The Academy, students will be able to take advantage of the full resources Yuba College has to offer including access to student tutors, a collegiate library and computer lab, as well as access to a high school counselor and a college counselor to guide them in their course selections. To support our students as much as possible, each student will also have an academic support class each day giving them time to study during the day and learn advanced study skills.  As students progress into their third and fourth years of The Academy, they will have flexibility to enroll in courses offered during the daytime or the during evening to accommodate students with multiple responsibilities.
