Serving as our foundation and guide in all subject areas,
the Bible is our most important textbook. In addition,
we utilize a wide range of instructional materials from
both Christian and secular publishers that best suit
the Christian focus of our educational program. Students
have a daily Bible class and attend a weekly Chapel
service.
A complete instructional program of subjects is taught
at all levels, including basic school subjects such
as Reading, Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and
Social Studies. Additional instruction in Bible, vocal
and instrumental Music, Physical Education/Health, and
Art is also provided.
Available to students at all levels, our Library/Media
Center houses over 5,000 volumes of reference, non-fiction,
and fiction books. Audio-visual equipment and materials
are also available for use in the Library/Media Center
or classrooms. Special help or tutoring is also provided
as needed through this facility.
Students are encouraged to pursue individual interests
in an extracurricular program, including sports, band,
choir, Bible Quiz, Science Fair, Olympic Day, Arts and
Craft Fair, Spelling Bee, and other special contests.
Various Music/Drama programs are presented throughout
the year for the families of students.
Conducted in all grades K-8, standardized achievement
testing assesses student progress and needs. Students
with special educational requirements are identified
and referred to the public schools or private agencies
for evaluation and remediation. Tutoring is available
at MCA during and after school for those necessitating
individual assistance.
Our extensive computer lab offers classes for those
in grades 6-8, while other students have in-classroom
access to software applications and tutorials.
Encouraging the publication of literary works by students,
our Student Star newspaper and Pathway yearbook teams
offer numerous opportunities for those interested.
In the primary grades, much importance is placed on
mastering phonetic and reading skills.
Depending on grade level, our mathematics program covers
basic skills up through the use of the metric system,
calculators, Pre-Algebra, and Geometry.
We believe and teach the creation approach in Science,
however we also present the theory of evolution for
examination and evaluation.
