Academics
At Mesa Christian Academy, we use the Accelerated Christian Education (A.C.E.) curriculum for all subjects and work with each student individually. We focus on giving our kindergarten students a strong phonics foundation to help them read independently, and then we customize the pace of their learning to ensure they fully understand the material before moving on to the next thing. All of our students must score 80% or better on each PACE (Packet of Accelerated Christian Education) to move on to the next unit.
At MCA, when students in grades 1-12 transfer from other schools, we administer diagnostic tests to measure their academic levels and prescribe "gap PACEs" for them as needed to address areas they have not yet mastered. For high school students, we offer dual enrollment with Lighthouse Christian Academy, which uses the A.C.E. curriculum and allows for a choice of four different accredited diploma levels. We work closely with LCA to choose the best possible path for each student, taking into account their future goals, past performance, diagnosed gaps, and parental input to ensure they earn their high school diploma.
All students at Mesa Christian Academy participate in weekly Art, PE, and General Music. Older students can also take Sign Language. Every Wednesday morning, there is a Chapel with worship songs and a devotional message or object lesson. Throughout the year, there are several field trips and activities, and sometimes a service trip.
Schedule a tour to see if MCA might be the right fit for your student and family!

Kindergarten Program
Children enter our Kindergarten program not just based on age, but on readiness. Therefore, we do not have a hard deadline on birthdates for Kindergarten students.
