MicroSociety Academy's Upper School is Officially Open!

Nashua, NH (April 1, 2025) — MicroSociety Academy Charter School (MACS), a chartered public school for grades PK - 8th, marked a significant milestone today as they officially expanded their school program with the opening of a new Upper School for grades 5-8. To celebrate this exciting achievement, the school hosted a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, 10 years after receiving their charter approval. The event was attended by families, students, staff, trustees, and community members to commemorate the opening of the new middle school facility.

The newly unveiled facility, located at 589 W. Hollis St., boasts state-of-the-art STEM, art, and music rooms, flexible student workstations, and modern, inspiring classroom spaces. The expansion is designed to foster creativity, innovation, and independence among the school’s middle school students. According to the school’s Board of Trustees president, the addition of the new building has instilled a strong sense of pride and ownership in the students, who are excited to explore and care for their new learning environment.

The ribbon cutting ceremony featured welcoming remarks from Head of School, Amy Bottomley, and inspiring speeches from the President of the Board of Trustees, Barbara Halevi, and the 2024-2025 school President, Norah. Norah’s speech was particularly poignant, as she reflected on the school’s journey and growth over the years, stating, “The only direction that we’ve been going is up!” Past and present board members joined in the ribbon cutting, officially marking the opening of the new facility.

This new middle school building is the culmination of years of hard work and dedication by the school’s administration, board members, and community partners. The expansion underscores MACS’s continued commitment to strengthening the educational foundation for students in greater Nashua.

"We are thrilled to offer our middle school students a space where they can continue to grow and thrive," said Amy Bottomley, Head of School. "This expansion allows us to better serve our students and provide them with the resources they need to succeed."

The ribbon cutting ceremony not only celebrated the opening of the new facility, but also recognized the collective efforts of the entire MACS community. “We are so grateful to everyone who has supported MACS over the years," said Bottomley. "This milestone is a testament to what we can achieve together."

MicroSociety Academy Charter School extends its deepest thanks to all those who have supported the school over the last decade, and looks forward to many more years of success and growth.
