Delighted to Learn
In order to get an education that “sticks,” students need creative professional teachers, curricula and teaching strategies accommodated to their individual realities, and small-sized classes free from unaddressed distractions.
MACA excels in all of these. Our gifted teachers have freedom to tailor their curricula and classrooms in order to serve the individual needs of their students. We know from experience that you don’t have to sacrifice high academic standards to make learning a lasting joy.
Steeped in the Word
God’s Word in the Bible informs every aspect of MACA’s educational approach. We select our teachers and textbooks carefully to ensure that a biblical worldview pervades our academic environment, but we also emphasize personal Christian commitment in our student body through required Bible classes, weekly chapel services, and personal discipleship.
Living in the world today presents a huge number of worldview and lifestyle challenges, and we aim to equip young Christians with the biblical knowledge and character they will need to flourish in even the most hostile conditions.
Ready to Serve
MACA embraces service to the community as a central principle for our school family. Like our Lord, we want to go into the world to serve, not to be served. We instill this teaching into our student body both by teaching and example.
We partner with and host local businesses and churches in periodic charitable and community-building endeavors, and have a nearly decades-old JROTC program where students can learn the drills, customs, and courtesies of a formal life of service in the military. We want our students to learn early and learn well how to serve something beyond themselves.
Prepared for Life
We know life happens outside the walls of the classroom, so our instruction doesn’t end there. We offer vocational training, practical skills instruction, mission trips, and more to prepare our students for life beyond mere academics.
Aside from the voluntary life education programs students can join (like JROTC), we ensure broader life preparation with what we call J-Term, a few weeks after Christmas break where students step aside from their normal class schedule to focus on self-selected elective and vocational credits doing things like woodworking, fine arts, home economics, or even mountain biking.
Why is it important that incoming students and parents be committed Christians?
Mountain Area Christian Academy doesn’t just educate children with Christian truth. The Academy is entirely composed of professing Christians, from administrators to teachers to students. We expect our students and their families to sign our non-denominational statement of faith to ensure this. And we expect students to live out their growing Christian commitment in and out of the classroom. Not perfectly, of course. We love the process of partnering with families in discipleship and spiritual formation, and we understand very well that students are in differing stages of development spiritually and otherwise. But really and truly, we want MACA to be a place where Christian values and people function in Christ-like partnership toward the preparation of coming generations for fruitful service in God’s kingdom. We believe this Christ-honoring environment at MACA promotes maximum learning and growth—and community. And it minimizes the kinds of distractions and obstacles that hamper the healthy development of children.
That said, there is no place in our school for discriminatory policies or divisive behavior on the basis of exterior or superficial differences. Mountain Area Christian Academy admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
