STATEMENT OF VISION, PURPOSE, GOALS, AND COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE
Our Vision
The vision of Metrolina Christian Academy is to trust our Lord as we seek academic and Christian excellence. We believe this will be accomplished with much prayer, commitment, and great leadership among the administration and faculty, supported by a strong base of parental involvement.

Our goal is to prepare students to be productive, Christ-like citizens contributing to their communities and to this world.
