They are always there for the kids supporting their educational success and spiritual progress, being able to get the best from both. Our older children are now in excellent programs in university which will help them to achieve the future they desire & the youngest one is excelling towards the same. We don't have any doubt that Mississauga Christian Academy is a major player in our life to get our kids the best education which is wrapped by God's teaching to be who they are now and how they will end up in the future. "
"We have been part of Mississauga Christian Academy for the past 12 years. Our eldest son, who is now in his third year at Ryerson College graduated from MCA in 2014. Currently, we have a son in grade 6 and a daughter in grade 2. We decided to send our first born to MCA because it was highly recommended to us by church friends. MCA has exceeded our expectations in providing our children with God centered education, high academic standard and a nurturing environment. Over the years, we have also grown to love MCA for its diversity and genuinely caring community of teachers, parents & administrative staff. Our children love their teachers who are kind, loving & dedicated to seeing each child succeed. "
"We learned about MCA from our cousins who went to MCA in the 1990’s and are all doctors now. Our children have attended MCA since JK and they are now in Grades 3 & 5. MCA is known for its academic excellence. Our children are learning in a structured environment, their Math and Language are at least 1-2 grades higher than others in the public system and also started French in JK. The students are learning the Christian worldview with well-behaved peers and supportive parents, which are invaluable in building their foundation. The principal, teachers & staff are excellent. They genuinely care for the students, always take the time to listen to our questions or concerns, prompt and appropriate arrangements are made to address them. We are very grateful to be part of the MCA community."
