MACC (Multi Age Cluster Class)
Multi-Age Cluster Class (MACC) (or Middle Age Cluster Class in Coquitlam ) was originally a Vancouver gifted education program meant to enrich the regular curriculum for students in grades 4-7 (currently up to Grade 8 in the Coquitlam middle school model). The program opened its doors in 1994, one year after University Hill/UBC's much-heralded Transition Program 〔http://universitytransition.ubc.ca/content/welcome-0〕 for accelerated learners, to which some MACC graduates are accepted each year. The admission process for MACC involves several steps where a child's suitability for the program is evaluated. A student is referred by their home school, challenge-class teacher, gifted case-manager, or parent for consideration for admission. In Vancouver, students generally are asked to take the Insight test of cognitive skills which gives the selection committee a deeper understanding of a student's core skills. Children seen as suitable candidates are invited to attend the Pre-MACC Experience, a two-day session in Vancouver and Coquitlam. After that, students who are seen as candidates are invited to spend one or two days in the classroom at the school they would potentially attend. Offers of admission are sometimes contingent on this final step. In Surrey, the process is slightly different, as candidates only visit the classroom that they will be in for one day. The MACC program, despite its various permutations, universally emphasizes the creation of lifelong, autonomous learners who seek knowledge in an active and dynamic learning environment clustered with other high-ability learners. Teachers are chosen based on experience, ideally with course-work, training and/or experience working with high-ability learners. Many teachers have gone on to national recognition for their accomplishments while working in MACC, most notably the longtime Tecumseh MACC teacher Ms. Marie Chomyn, who received the Prime Minister's Award for Teaching Excellence in 2013,〔http://www.vsb.bc.ca/district-news/tecumseh-teacher-honoured-outstanding-macc-program〕 as well as 2013 Governor General Award co-recipients (and former MACC teachers) Ms. Graeme Cotton and Ms. Romy Cooper for their contributions to the teaching of issues related to national heritage.〔http://www.canadashistory.ca/Awards/Teaching/Articles/2013-Finalists/Romy-Cooper-and-Graeme-Cotton〕 In addition, many MACC graduates have gone on to national and international success, including Bryan Wong, twice nominated as a member of Forbes Magazine's "Top 30 Under 30" entrepreneurs.〔http://ubyssey.ca/news/brian-wong-university-student-at-14-graduated-at-18-millionaire-at-20/〕〔http://ubyssey.ca/news/brian-wong-university-student-at-14-graduated-at-18-millionaire-at-20/〕

Currently, there are three schools with MACC classes in Vancouver, British Columbia administered by the Vancouver School Board (VSB). The two Vancouver schools currently offering English MACC programs are Tecumseh Elementary School 〔https://www.vsb.bc.ca/district-news/macc-students-celebrate-heritage-fair-learning-tecumseh〕 with a 5/6/7 class and Sir William Osler Elementary School,〔http://www.vsb.bc.ca/district-news/osler-maac-class-shows-endangered-animal-projects〕 which offers two: a grade 4/5 and a grade 6/7 MACC class. Kerrisdale Elementary School currently offers a 5/6/7 French Immersion MACC class (FI-MACC). The FI-MACC class was previously at General Gordon Elementary School. There were previous incarnations of MACC classes at Lord Nelson Elementary School, Queen Mary Elementary School, and David Livingstone Elementary School, but the program has shrunk slightly and relocated to its current base schools over the years due to a combination of VSB cutbacks, seismic upgrades, and perceived population shifts. In addition, there are other MACC programs outside Vancouver, such as Berkshire Park Elementary School, Hyland Elementary School, and Bayridge Elementary School(moved to Crescent Park Elementary School due to overcrowding at the former school, however the former still exists currently in the state of a 6/7 split), in Surrey, which is in the Lower Mainland region. All three Surrey programs are grades 5-7. Surrey is considering adding a high-school program. There also used to be a high school MACC program in Kitsilano Secondary School. The vast majority of Vancouver MACC graduates currently attend competitive mini-school programs at a variety of area high schools. The Tri-Cities (Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, Port Moody) has three MACC class equipped schools, namely Citadel Middle School, Hillcrest Middle School, and Kwayhquitlum Middle School. In 2014, two MACC classes were added in Burnaby (School District 41)at Capitol Hill Elementary School. There are currently two classes (Grade 4&5 and Grade 6&7) and the Burnaby School District is planning to add one more MACC location in south Burnaby, if possible, in the fall of 2015.
