Twenty six teams joined us on Monday, September 21, 2009 for the 7th Annual Mustang Classic. The Mustang Classic is designed to cultivate community for supporters of Maranatha Christian Academy while raising money for financial aid. One pleased patron stated, "This is the classiest classic around!" Team photos are available, click here to view the album. We are deeply grateful for these generous event sponsors.

After much prayer and effort, we will build out the north campus this summer and begin the 2009-2010 academic year at the Brooklyn Park site. This move is the culmination of two years hard work on the part of our internal consolidation team and ATS&R architects and engineers. The move is also the realization of a strategic goal we’ve had for the last five or so years.

New this fall, an affordable homeschool partnership program designed to give your homeschooled children access to classes and opportunities within the MCA programic line up. From choir to robotics, your children can explore their interests and God-given talents in a caring, Christ-centered environment.

Held on Saturday, May 2: The sun was out, along with 88 5-mile runners and 108 2-mile race participants, for the 6^th Annual Arise and Run for the Prize. More than 30 kids were also at the park to run, walk--or wonder--the Half-Mile Kids Fun Run. This fun, active-lifestyle promoting, athletic fundraiser is a community favorite springtime event.
