M.A.A has appeared in the New York Times, on CBS evening news, ABC evening news on a documentary with Art Mcfarland, and in numerous publications. Millennium Art Academy is one of many small schools established to help create a better school system in which students receive a better education through smaller classes, a high-expectations learning environment, and an intensive student support. Aside from being a small school, M.A.A has many unconventional programs such as The Millennium Pearl Initiative (M.P.I. Intergenerational Program), the Intergenerational Program (I.W.S.P), Art Portfolio, as well as Advanced Placement World History, a college-level mythology course, mosaic Club, Salsa Club, Chess class, S.A.T. prep, Saturday and P.M. school for struggling learners, as well as art shows throughout the year (including Sotheby's) to showcase student artwork.

In June 2008, MAA students wrote and produced an original play that was performed on Broadway as part of Fidelity Bank's LEAP (Learning through an Expanded Arts Program). At a school where 90% of the students live at or below the poverty line, Millennium Art Academy's first graduation rate was 87.5% (30% higher than the city average). 90% of the graduates are now attending college.
