4.) What is the difference between the curriculum used at MCA and those used in public schools?
MCA seeks to have a positive relationship with local public schools. Many parents want the choice to have their child educated from a Christian worldview where the Bible, prayer, and biblical morality are a part of the education process. The Abeka curriculum tends to be a little more advanced. Many years ago the public school curriculum was taught from the Judeo-Christian worldview. However, this is not the case any more. MCA seeks to educate the whole child - academically, emotionally, and spiritually. Bible is taught daily as a class and chapel is each Wednesday. Prayer is part of every school day.
