The Middle College Academy

Welcome to the Middle College Academy at Marysville. As the Director of the Middle College Academy, it is my distinct pleasure to serve the students in our local area. 

The Academy is a progressive partnership with Yuba College. The school is located on the campus of Yuba College and our students are dual enrolled as both high school students and college students. The Academy is a rigorous institution that seeks out students who are highly motivated and goal driven, and who are looking for an alternative to a traditional high school experience.

At The Academy, students have the opportunity to complete six years of education in four. By the end of their high school years they will have earned a high school diploma and completed two years of college, focusing on their discipline of choice. This pathway 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 day and/or the evening to accommodate students with multiple responsibilities. 

Regards,
