ACHIEVEMENTS OVERVIEW CONT. DEVELOPMENT UPDATE ANNUAL FUND & FUNDRAISER REPORT SPECIAL EVENTS & FUNDRAISERS VISION STATEMENT By 2021, MCA will excel as a national recognized leader in 21st century Christian, college-preparatory education, preparing students to live their faith and thrive in a changing world. CORE VALUES Maranatha Christian Academy fulfills its mission through purposing to: • Assist in the development of the “whole” person—spirit, soul, and body—in each of our students. • Assist each student in establishing a real and unshakable relationship with Jesus Christ by (1) presenting the Gospel, (2) training them to use the Word of God with authority, (3) and promoting the development of a truly biblical worldview and value system. • Produce students who are academically qualified: well-educated, self-directed, and lifelong learners. • Act as an extension of the home and church by instilling Christian values and thus, together, equip the next generation to live godly lives in an increasingly ungodly world. • Train young people to be positive role models and influential leaders who will carry out the “Great Commission.” (Matthew 28:19–20) • Lead students by way of example and instruction into a lifestyle that places the needs of others above their own needs and wants. 2 Academics. Faith. Excellence.
A MESSAGE FROM BRIAN Dear Parent and Friend of MCA, Maranatha Christian Academy turned 40 this year, and that’s a significant milestone. Benjamin Franklin commented on the passage of time by saying, “At twenty years of age the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgment.” I like Franklin’s assessment in that MCA is still young enough to take on new challenges while having maturity and a strong foundation of faith. I am privileged to share this Annual Report that attests to the school’s excellence in educational programming, healthy and dynamic student culture, strong admissions demand and low attrition rates, responsible financial stewardship, engaging faith formation, and unprecedented recruitment by select post-secondary institutions of our graduates. Certainly, this is a testament to God’s favor on Maranatha, our talented staff, amazing students, and you, our parents. In the language of our vision statement, we said our intent is to “prepare students to live their faith and thrive in a changing world.” We live in a time when technology is advancing at a blistering pace, creating new possibilities for individuals and organizations that we could hardly have imagined 40 years ago. The global, political, and economic environment is also shifting faster than ever. It is very clear that innovation will be a defining trait, perhaps the defining trait, of organizations that thrive over the next few, let alone 40, years. As MCA pursues our God-inspired Strategic Plan, “Maranatha 2021,” there are four priorities: • Advance our Mission • Create Strong Connections and Community • Be Fiscally Prudent to Ensure Viability • Create a Culture of Institutional Flexibility Achieving this goal does not mean that mastery of core academic content takes a back seat. Rather, it is enhanced through meaningful, engaging, and applicable work. Long gone are the days when school was simply a place to get information. That same information today is available 24/7 in the palm of your hand. The school of the future, Maranatha Christian Academy, will give students the academic content and the tools to imagine, synthesize, research, collaborate, invent, create, solve complex problems, and facilitate change. Maranatha will send young adults into the world ready to embrace a changing world while fulfilling God’s call on them to be change-makers themselves. This is our calling, this is our high purpose and our legacy: to equip a generation of leaders to go into the world and change it for Him. When I reflect on what God has done over the past 40 years, I am thrilled with the limitless possibilities for the next 40. Thank you for valuing the Maranatha experience for your children. I am truly humbled by the opportunity to serve your family and partner with you, as parents, to see this achieved in the lives of our students. Your brother in Him, By design, we use the phrase “institutional flexibility” as a mechanism to facilitate, advance, and celebrate innovation. Brian Sullivan Head of School 3
