OUR BIBLICAL INTEGRATED CURRICULUM
MCA follows the South African national curriculum (CAPS) from Grade R to 12.
Our comprehensive educational system is driven by dedicated individuals who motivate and support children in their quest to reach their maximum potential in school and in life.
We integrate the Bible from a worldview, thereby delivering a successful Christian-based education that provides a rewarding education alternative, relative to learners’ academic, social and spiritual needs.
Our teaching methodology embraces recognising that each child has a unique learning style with God-given abilities and talents and therefore develop a learning approach that accommodates learners’ individual capabilities, making it possible for the learner, to achieve their full academic potential.
From Grade R to Grade 12, each learner discovers how to develop critical-thinking skills and think creatively and independently.
