International Admissions

Thank you for your interest in our International Students Program!

Mannahouse Christian Academy has gained the attention of a number of international student exchange agencies as a result of the school’s high standard of education and affordable tuition. MCA welcomes international students from around the world because we value the educational benefits of diverse global perspectives and cultural understanding in our private Christian school community.

MCA provides a welcoming and safe environment in which international students can receive an excellent private school education, develop meaningful friendships, and grow in their knowledge of Christ and His plan for their lives. We celebrate several cultural events throughout the school year! We love to see our international students participate in those events and bring a traditional perspective from their home country.

We are accredited by Cognia and offer a rigorous college preparatory program along with enrichment opportunities such as: Honors Courses, Dual High School and College Credit, Wellness ( health and physical education), Music (Performing Arts), Foreign Language, Technology, Visual Art and Biblical Studies. MCA is a member of OSAA and participates in a full competitive sports program. Visit our sports portal for current athletic listings. Students also participate in chapel services, Bible Study groups, and Bible classes.

Housing:

All international students must be represented by an agent/guardian/local coordinator who works closely with MCA International Student Coordinator, host family, the home country family and the agent or supporting organization. In keeping with our purpose and philosophy to assist and work directly with the families of our students, all students coming to our school must reside with a host family (may be their own relatives or family friends) approved by the school who agrees to support and uphold the schools religious beliefs, principles, practices, and educational policies of the school in every way.
