Bellefontaine, OHGrades K-12Tuition-free

Mac-A-Cheek Learning Center is a separate public school facility for students in kindergarten through 12th grade whose behavioral or emotional needs interfere with learning in a regular public school setting. Many of our students have found it hard to build and keep relationships with peers and teachers, and they come to us from districts in the surrounding counties. We run a schoolwide behavior system built on a daily point sheet, so students and families can see progress through the day. A school social worker and a school nurse are part of our staff, and our MACAW career education program gives students exposure to the world of work. Our educational service center's positive behavior intervention and supports policy guides how we respond to behavior, and breakfast and lunch are provided through the federal Community Eligibility Provision.
