High School (Grade 9–12)

At Maranatha, high school is the launch pad for your child’s future.

By the time students reach High School, the foundation is set. Now we send them. Through rigorous academics, real-world application, and a community that holds them to who they're becoming, Maranatha graduates don't just cross a stage—they leave with something to pursue.

Academic Foundations

Our academic philosophy rigorously builds on established foundations to propel future success.

We build upon strong foundations to cultivate advanced critical thinking, articulate communication, and analytical prowess. Core subjects are taught at a collegiate pace, ensuring students master complex material, synthesize information effectively, and understand its real-world application.

How we do this:

A comprehensive and highly competitive curriculum
Dedicated faculty mentorship
Faith formation that moves from teaching to application
We believe service is key for developing leaders
Preparation for What’s Next

Future readiness is integrated in daily life.

How we do this:

College Preparation
PSEO Program
Leadership and Real-World Preparation
House System

The House System is one of the primary ways students in Grades 9–12 experience community, leadership, and school spirit at Maranatha.

Assigned to one of four Houses representing Christian Education, Character, Community, and Calling, students participate in year-long competitions, service initiatives, mentorship opportunities, and traditions that unite students across grade levels.

House membership provides students with opportunities to earn points through academics, attendance, service, leadership, and involvement while working together toward quarterly and annual championships.

Most importantly, the House System creates a sense of belonging, encourages meaningful relationships, and provides students with opportunities to grow as leaders while contributing to a thriving school community.

Grade 7–12 Principal

"Welcome to High School at Maranatha Christian Academy! This is a place where students are challenged to think deeply, lead courageously, and pursue God's purpose for their lives. Through rigorous academics, authentic faith development, and real-world opportunities, we prepare students not only for college and careers, but for a life of impact, influence, and service."
"The sincere care, love and discipline that the Head of School down to the janitorial staff has for all the students is ever-present. We, like other parents, visit on a regular basis. Sometimes for lunch, family activities, or special events such as Grandparents Day, have the consistency of the entire staff always present with the love of Christ."
