Academic Overview

The world around is unsettled. Many schools and the curriculum they use to educate students are changing in an attempt to fit into societies’ ever-shifting perspectives. At Maranatha Christian Academy, we believe that having a strong biblical foundation is essential to teaching and learning.

We endeavor to see and teach everything through the eyes of Jesus. This perspective allows us to base our educational standards on our Christian worldview, developing strong co-creators of tomorrow.

Our Christian worldview will not be compromised at Maranatha Christian Academy.

There was a time when education was comfortable. Parents sent their kids on the bus in the morning and late afternoon they returned home smarter; at least that was the assumption. While other industries continued to be pushed to improve, many educational institutions were not challenging the norm. Maranatha Christian Academy noticed a change was needed, especially within the private Christian education space. So, it went to work seeking out what was successful in other industries and cutting-edge schools. Then, methodically began to incorporate these concepts, integrating them with our strong Christian worldview. 

Today, Maranatha is an innovative and counter-cultural school, always looking for ways to improve teaching and learning. Industry-leading consultants continually work with teachers to incorporate innovation incubators. Using comprehensive design thinking cohorts, teachers learn changemaker processes of problem-solving, critical thinking, collaboration, and more. Then, creatively release them into their classroom.

In everything we do and say, we want it to be a true reflection of who we are, what we believe, and what we will never stop standing for. We embody this by teaching our students to lead with empathy through service projects, beginning in PreK and continuing through to graduation.

The Share Christmas event gathers 1000s of toys for our local community, and over the last few years, we have packed over 350,000 meals to be delivered to local food shelves, providing real, practical solutions for the battle against hunger in our community.

Upper School students also have the opportunity to serve a local orphanage, church, and the people of Zacatecas, Mexico through our annual missions trip.
