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.



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.
From advanced STEM pathways and laboratory sciences to rigorous humanities, foreign languages, and deep theological studies, our course offerings are explicitly designed to challenge our most ambitious students and secure their readiness for top-tier universities.
At Maranatha, our faculty treat students as emerging adults, holding them to high standards for academics and life while providing targeted support, accountability, and professional guidance needed to reach their full potential.
We foster a culture of student-led faith, where juniors and seniors lead chapels, facilitate peer discipleship groups, and actively shape the spiritual climate of the campus. We are forming graduates with a robust, intellectually defensible Christian worldview built to withstand the realities of the modern world.
To graduate from MCA, all High School students must complete required service hours. Whether partnering with local nonprofits, mentoring younger students, or participating in global missions, students actively demonstrate our mission by serving as the hands and feet of Christ.
Our dedicated college counseling team works strategically with each family to navigate the competitive admissions landscape, optimize standardized testing, secure scholarships, and identify the university programs that best align with each student’s unique gifts and career aspirations.
From Advanced Placement to college credit, Maranatha helps students start college ahead. Maranatha's students have the opportunity to receive high school and college credit through Advanced Placement (AP) courses, an on-campus Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) program, and an Associate of Arts (AA) degree program in partnership with Bethel University. These opportunities provide significant academic, competitive, and financial advantages for our graduates.
Maranatha graduates leave prepared to engage the demands and responsibilities of adulthood. Through our senior capstone initiatives, students conduct rigorous independent research and formally defend their worldview and findings before a panel of educators and professionals, proving their readiness for the demands of adulthood.




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.

"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."
Our High School team is ready to meet your family, answer your questions, and show you first hand what sets Maranatha apart.
