~Welcome~ Our vision is to create a better world through education
 The McIntosh Area School (MAS) is a Community Public Charter School in the tranquil Marion County, Florida, Victorian town of McIntosh on US 441 between Ocala and Gainesville. If you live in our area and you have a student in one of the elementary grades, please consider enrolling your child.
In August 2003, MAS opened its doors on the original McIntosh School site. The principal rang the old-fashioned school bell to call to class 17 kindergarteners and first graders just as the school marm might have done in 1890. Since 2003, the school has grown into a K through 5 elementary school. In May 2008, 104 students are enrolled and the school is hosting its first fifth grade class graduation.
