MANE Things
Dear MCA Parents,
 

As we continue our six-week journey through the Maranatha Christian Academy mission statement, we arrive at a word that is vital to the success of our graduates: collaborators

 

"We are an influential school of collaborators, innovators, and explorers grounded in Christian faith, empowering co-creators of tomorrow."

 

At Maranatha, we believe students aren’t expected to learn alone—they learn with others. This shows up in group projects, on the athletic fields, and in real-world problem-solving. We are intentionally developing young people who can work well with others to accomplish meaningful goals.

 

Scripture reminds us of the profound value of shared perspective. Proverbs 15:22 tells us: "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed."

 

By fostering a collaborative environment, we’re teaching students that there is "wisdom in a multitude of counselors." When they learn to value the input of their peers and mentors, they aren't just finishing a project, they’re learning a life skill that will serve them in their future careers, families, and wherever life takes them.

 

Thank you for all that you do in raising up strong men and women of God, and we are so honored to partner with you in nurturing these future leaders.

 

Blessings,
Deb Larson-Jarpe, Head of School
