2. What if my child has been referred to an alternative school or alternate campus? Can they be enrolled at MCA?

MCA does not accept children who have disciplinary action pending at their current school, who have been referred to alternative school/ or an alternate campus. MCA school policy requires all children who apply to MCA to have been in good standing at their previous school for one year. We’re sorry; there are no exceptions to this rule.

3. My child has a learning disability, is ADD/HD or has special needs. Can he/she be enrolled at MCA?

MCA does not accept children with learning disabilities, special needs, or IEPS. MCA is not equipped to deal with or provide for special needs of any type. Placement testing is required of every student for 1st Grade and above and all previous school academic and medical records will be requested prior to enrollment.

4. My child needs extra attention in class, a smaller classroom, more individualized attention and/or is struggling academically. Is MCA right for us?

While the teachers at MCA pride themselves in personal attention to all students, realistically the curriculum at MCA is advanced. Students who are struggling on a regular curriculum in the public school will likely struggle more at MCA. We pride ourselves on our advanced academics. In order to be placed at MCA Academic testing is required as well as a review of the child’s previous academic/behavior record.

5. What curriculum do you use? What is an A BEKA curriculum?

An A BEKA curriculum is a traditional academic curriculum that is presented in a very structured manner with the content focusing upon the Bible with a Christian perspective.

6. My child was not the age required by Sept 1st, but he/she can already read/ is very bright/ is advanced. Can you test them for the next higher grade?

Under no circumstances does MCA place students in a grade level higher than their age would indicate. (K5 - 5 years old by September 1st. 1st grade - 6 years old by September 1st etc...)

Testing is required for all students 1st grade and above, but the enrolling child will be given age/grade appropriate test. Records will be requested from previous school. No child will be tested for a higher grade level at enrollment, for any reason.

7. Do you accept students in the middle of the year?

Yes, MCA will consider accepting students during the year. The fist step is to obtain an Enrollment Application. Please fill it out in full and return it to the school along with the most recent report card as well as the $25 application fee.

8. Does MCA offer financial aid or scholarships?
