Who We Are

Preparing Students for the Future in Jesus' Name

Welcome
Dear Families,

It's my privilege to serve as Head of School for Mankato Christian Academy. I'm continually grateful to watch this school grow into a home for students who want more than an education. They want a place where their faith and their future are shaped together.

Our mission is to prepare students for the future through a Christ-centered education. Every class, every conversation, and every relationship on our campus stems from that goal. Our teachers know students by name, and no one gets lost in the crowd. Here, students are challenged academically, grounded in Scripture, and given real opportunities to discover their gifts on the stage, on the field, and in the classroom. 

Here we confess the Truth of God's Word. Our goal isn't only to prepare students for college and career, though we do that too. It's to send young men and women into the world equipped to think clearly, live faithfully, and lead with humility. They learn to be servant-leaders who do real work, for real people, with real needs. They understand that what they learn is never just for themselves, but so that they can bless everyone that God places in their lives. 

I'd love for you to come see it for yourself. Schedule a tour, meet our teachers, and get a feel for what makes this community different. I think you'll find, as I have, that MCA is a place where students are known, loved, and prepared for the future.

An MCA graduate is someone who embodies the following
Redeemed by God

Idolotry Discerning
Students seek truth by aligning their learning with the knowledge and person of Jesus Christ.
Beauty Creating
Students engage in creative work that enriches the world and reflects what is good, true, and beautiful.
Order Discovering
Students marvel at the evidence of God's fingerprints in the intricate, purposeful design of His creation.
Justice Seeking
Students practice justice by treating others with rightness and fairness as they trust God to bring about wholeness where there is brokenness.
Stewards of Creation
Students participate in creation care by preserving, cultivating, and enjoying the world God has entrusted them to steward.
Servant Living

Image Bearing
Students recognize that all people are beautifully and wonderfully made in the image of God. Though perfection was lost in the fall into sin, believers are restored through Christ Jesus.
What we believe
Statement of Faith
Mankato Christian Academy is committed to our statement of faith. Our vision, philosophy of education, core values, and all our principles and practices flow from the following.

03
We believe God created the heavens and the Earth, and all things visible and invisible.

We believe all people are created by God in His image to glorify and reflect Him. However, all people have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory and need salvation.
