MANE Things Happening on Campus

view in browser | JANUARY 22, 2026

Dear MCA family,

I want to personally invite you to our annual Vision/State of the School Address on Monday, February 9. This is a virtual meeting that provides an opportunity to see clearly what God is building at Maranatha Christian Academy.

Your attendance reflects your partnership with our school's mission and your investment in your child's future. This evening also marks the beginning of re-enrollment for the 2026-27 school year.

I look forward to seeing you online.

Blessings,

Deb Larson-Jarpe, Head of School
