Calvary Chapel High / Maranatha Christian

The calvary bubble! Not good at all. Horrible, judge mental, terrible classes, no class choices such as a public school or other private schools, bad kids, and teachers who cant teach. Waste of money.

I can't say enough about this school. My daughter has attending since elementary, and his now a Junior in High School. There are so many extra curicular activities that are offered that she has been able to be involved in. This school also has acheived the highest creditdation that a school can be granted. Additonally, Judy in the MCA office is wonderful asset to the school!

Christian based school where they make Jesus the center of all learning. They have a strong academic philosophy. Teach towards aiming for a college education and want to help their students become responsible members of society.

My four children began at MCA in 2000. My oldest graduated in 2008, I have one who will graduate this school year (2010), I have another beginning high school and my youngest is beginning junior high. All four have grown in wisdom, knowledge, stature and favor with God and men since they have attended the three Calvary Chapel Schools these past nine years. As a Christian parent I couldn't ask for more!

I have had my daughter at MCA for 4 years. Love the teachers. I disagree with all of the junk food that they have at the school. Soda machines, candy and icecream machines. I also disagree with how relaxed they are on how short the girls are a loud to wear their uniforms such as skirts, and dresses. They also allow sculls on the packpacks, lunch box, etc. I love that Judy the secreatary know all of the kids names. Love you Judy! You are such a Blessing to Calvary! Overall, Thank you MCA for everything.

I hope people reading this site understand that Maranatha Christian Academy (MCA) is K through 8 and Calvary Chapel High is 9 - 12. Each has their own principal and staff. I had three sons at M.C.A. and currently have four grandchildren enrolled. The academic standard is high, positive discipline is a priority, and essential moral standards are taught and practiced. Teachers are exceptional and the administration is open to parent's' comments. I also appreciate the fact there are several classes for each grade. That allows the opportunity for students to have a choice of teachers and meet new classmates each year.

I would have to say the amount of money spent for an education at this school is unnecessary. Most of the high school teachers are first year teachers, and most of the older teachers who have been there for years are not qualified , most are still trying to earn their degrees. If you are looking for a school to seriously prepare your child for college this is not it. Academics aside, the spiritual portion of this school is also lacking. For the amount of money spent on a private school to prepare your child for college, Calvary is just mediocre.

My daughter just finished her last year of high school here and absolutely loved it. She entered in the 7th grade from a different private school and what a big difference. Calvary is so loving and nurturing towards the kids and their open door policy is great. Could have asked for a better school for our daughter!

MCA was great. Many moms and dads teaching. Junior High was ok, still not to many educated teachers. High School should be preparing the students to go to college .
