Maranatha has given me an amazing middle and high school experience! I feel very prepared academically to head out to my next level of schooling. The school is a college prep school and has aid for those who are in need of it. It is very easy to find community throughout the year and make many wonderful memories.

I really liked my time at Maranatha. The teachers are there to help you and will do what they can so you can reach your goals. They have strict rules at Maranatha but its easy to understand and eventually good for the students.

I went to MCA for nine years and loved every minute of it. The faculty is amazing. The understand the importance of finding a balance between academics, extra circular activities, and life values. While the athletics may not be the best, the coaches and friendships created through athletics are long lasting. It prepared me immensely for college, helping me get into my first choice school.

Academic standards are very high, so students have to work hard and be extra studious, but it pays at the end - MCA graduates are well ahead of peers in college readiness. We found great staff and parent group, a very welcom...

Would not recommend this school. Administration is a joke. The dress code is also a joke. 2 out of 5 teachers actually teach.

All schools have politics but at Maranatha it's extremely apparent where certain students and families stand. It's obvious for some families that have been there a while, or students that have parents that work for the school, are given a free pass. A get out of jail card. To name a few - double sta...
