Mission, Vision, & Values

Shaped, Sharpened, Sent.

The vision of Metrolina Christian Academy is to have students graduate with a Biblical worldview based upon established spiritual disciplines, sound academic thinking, and appropriate skill development that enables them to move into their adult experience with the character and tools to be equipped for service in the Kingdom of God. As we seek to accomplish our vision, we believe it is important that the school develop programs, strategies, and methodologies within the context of Biblical principles that support our mission statement and enable our program to produce graduates that not only own their faith but who are equipped with a Biblical worldview consistent with the expected student outcomes reflected in our portrait of a graduate.

More than Education.

We are a community that loves

We are a culture focused on the truth

We are a school of excellence
