See What Others Are Saying
"My husband and I wanted something different for our children. A place where they will be well rounded both spiritually and academically and at the same time have lots of fun. We have been at MCA for ten years with our oldest child starting from preschool and now is in grade 8. Her siblings in grades 7, 5 and 4 are also having a great time in school. We have not regretted taking this decision because MCA has a rich and diverse curriculum. They combine both academics and so many other extracurricular activities. The children are great and connect nicely with each other. We are grateful that MCA could offer such a nurturing and warm environment for our children"
"It’s been a great privilege for our children to be attending M.C.A. for nearly 10 years. Our children are blessed to be taught by an exceptional team of dedicated and caring teachers who are truly passionate to teach and to share the Word of God. We are confident that by the time they graduate, they will be well prepared academically to enter high school and spiritually equipped to meet the challenges in the real world. We believe in setting a strong foundation for our children and thus, we invest in their education. M.C.A. has proved to be the right school for our boys"
"Our daughter attended MCA from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8. One of the most impressive things that MCA did for our daughter was that they dealt with her bullying classmates in school. The teacher was not afraid to call-on the students and make them accountable for what they had done. From this incident, our daughter knew that she would always be supported and was never afraid to speak up. One of the main reasons that our daughter attended MCA for so many years was that she was taught the Word of God on a daily basis. Definitely, the teachers built a solid foundation of the “Word of God” in our daughter’s heart. For this, we are forever grateful to them and to MCA."
