School Philosophy
Marin Christian Academy looks to the Bible as the primary source for determining its philosophy of education, goals, and mission. We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God: and the philosophy, goals, and mission derived from it will be God-honoring. MCA exists because our philosophy is unique in the educational world. MCA stands apart because our philosophy is based on belief in Jesus Christ, who said, I am the truth (John 14:6), and the Bible as the Word of God: Sanctify them through the truth; Thy word is truth¯ (John 17:17).

Our goal is to equip students to become intrinsically motivated to perform and achieve, commit themselves to becoming life-long learners, accept responsibility for their own actions and serve God and their fellow man with love and respect.
