Dear MCA community,

I look forward to seeing you online this Monday, February 9 for our annual Vision Meeting/State of the School Address. This is a virtual meeting that provides an opportunity to see clearly what God is building at Maranatha Christian Academy.

This evening also marks the beginning of re-enrollment for the 2026–2027 school year. I invite you to join us as we celebrate our shared mission and look ahead to securing your child’s place in our community for the coming school year.

Blessings,

Deb Larson-Jarpe, Head of School
