What We Do at SMCA

Faith at the Foundation

We believe Christian education begins with the truth that God exists, that He is our Creator, and that He desires a personal relationship with each of us through His Son, Jesus Christ.

High academic Standards

Students are encouraged and expected to give their best effort in every subject. We hold them accountable to strong standards—academically, morally, and spiritually

Biblical Integration Across the Curriculum

Every subject is taught in an atmosphere that acknowledges God’s presence, power, and love. Bible classes and weekly chapel services are central to our students’ spiritual growth.

Excellence in Curriculum

We choose high-quality textbooks from A Beka Book and Bob Jones University Press that support both academic rigor and biblical truth.
