As a ministry of First Baptist Church of Indian Trail, Metrolina Christian Academy offers a Christ-centered, high quality academic environment for students and families. The faculty and staff are committed to the students that God has entrusted us with.
The three-fold purpose statement of MCA says it all:
Our first purpose is to promote the love of Jesus:
- Sharing His good news in the classrooms and in every other area of our school.
- Encouraging our students to be a light in the world through service projects, outreach efforts, missions week, spiritual emphasis week, athletics, and mission trips.
- Exciting, spirit-filled chapel services each week.
- Praying for our students and families every day.
- Classroom devotions and testimonies by teachers and students.
Our second purpose is to pursue excellence in the classroom:
- MCA is fully accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI)
- Our teachers and administration review curriculum continually and update as deemed necessary.
- MCA teachers are offered continuing education courses and are required to stay current on their certification with ACSI. Our administration evaluates teachers/classes several times each year.
- Our upper school is a college preparatory school. Students in grades 9-12 meet regularly with their guidance counselor to ensure a proper high school resume, leading to the college and career of their choice.
- MCA has thirteen assistants to help our teachers with the care of our students.
Our third purpose is to teamwork with families and churches:
- MCA teachers are communicators, staying in contact with our families to share concerns as well as victories. We have also implemented the use of Edline, a user-friendly computer communication tool, where parents are updated each time a teacher posts a grade to their student’s account. Parents can also use Edline to check assignments and upcoming events.
- Parents and grandparents are essential in making MCA run properly. Many parents volunteer each week or for a variety of events throughout the year.
- MCA invites local pastors and youth pastors to share in chapel services and works with area churches through student service projects.
MCA graduates are serving all across the world. We have alumni serving as missionaries in several countries including India and Italy, serving in our armed forces, and as police officers, college professors, nurses, and teachers, just to name a few. Many of our alumni are currently pursuing graduate degrees, and some are serving as godly mothers and fathers, raising the next generation for Christ!
If you are praying about Christian education for your child, please call to schedule a tour of our school. I believe that you will feel God’s presence here as you walk through the hallways and meet the faculty and staff of MCA.
