The Story
At Marin Christian Academy, we’re committed to investing in every student spiritually, socially, and academically so that they can lead healthy, successful, and purposeful lives.
Our mission is to prepare students to serve God with integrity and personal character.
Our vision is to equip students to serve the Lord and become leaders who desire to impact their world by their commitment to learn and live with Christian character.
We were founded in 1979 as a ministry of New Life Christian Center in Novato, California. New Life recognized the need to impart a Christian worldview to their children in a supportive, loving atmosphere that would also uphold a high academic standard. We were created to meet that need and have been dedicated to upholding that vision for the past few decades.
Our staff is composed of experienced, credentialed teachers who are dedicated Christians, and attend churches of various Christian denominations throughout the Bay Area. We are thankful to God for the opportunity to impact the families that have come through our program, and we look forward to continuing to serve the current and future families of Marin Christian Academy.
Julie Mervich writes, "It was at MCA that I learned how to learn."
Over 95% of our students attend a four year university program upon graduation.
