OUR STORY

The goals of the Launch Team from the beginning were to:

Form a quality, non-denominational, Christian school that is positioned for accountability through accreditation as quickly as possible.
Form a school with a strong foundation and the right checks and balances in place to last for generations to come.
Form a school of academic excellence to meet the employment needs in our community, meet academic requirements for higher education, and prepare the students for God’s unique plan for their life.
Form a school that would have a lasting, gospel impact on the students and community the school serves.

To achieve these goals, the Launch Team diligently worked in the following ways:

They partnered quickly with RenewaNation early on in the school formation process for coaching and help from experts in the Christian Education field. RenewaNation provided guidance in forming a school that would be healthy and strong from the beginning to ensure longevity and stability.
They regularly connected with representatives from two different accrediting agencies in Iowa to ensure all the work they were doing would align with accrediting standards.
They consulted with several Christian School Administrators seeking guidance and wisdom in the decisions they needed to make.
They toured Christian Schools around the area to see what they were doing that was working well, gain additional insight into best practices and review quality curriculum from a Biblical perspective.
They labored over creating MCA's unique Philosophy of Education, Core Values, Mission, Vision and Statement of Faith to provide direction and guidance for all future decisions for the school. They developed policies and procedures to guide hiring practices, student enrollments, school operations, legal and financial management and much more.
