Dear MCA Parents,

In our ongoing pursuit of academic excellence, spiritual development, and school culture, we conduct an annual survey to measure stakeholder perceptions while also comparing MCA against local and national "Best Practice Standards."

Your feedback is extremely valuable as we partner together to continually improve your family's experience here at Maranatha.

Thank you for your time and prayerful consideration as you complete this important survey.

Blessings,

Deb Larson-Jarpe, Head of School
