About MHCA

 

Mountain Home Christian Academy is a non-profit, non-denominational, private Christian school.  MHCA does not receive any federal or state funding.  The Academy operates solely with the income from tuition and private contributions.

 

MHCA desires that each child carry with him or her an awareness of God’s presence throughout their daily social and academic activities.  We teach and encourage the practice of Biblical principles, which develops Christ-like character.

Mission and Goals Statement

It is the goal of Mountain Home Christian Academy to provide a quality education based on Christian principles found in the Scriptures.  We seek to use Biblical examples to illustrate and reinforce educational objectives in each subject area, but we do not teach specific denominational doctrine.  We provide an atmosphere in the classroom that supports Christian family values and nurtures individual spiritual growth and Christian character development.  It is our prayer that each child will have developed to their fullest potential spiritually, intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically by having had the opportunity to attend Mountain Home Christian Academy.

Vision Statement

The vision of MHCA is EXCELLENCE, because according to Scripture God is a “great and awesome God” (Neh.1:5) who in the “greatness of His excellence” (Ex.15:7) works all His good works.  We believe because of God’s greatness, MHCA is called to reflect such excellence in all it does and represents.

The Academy Board

The objective of the Academy Board is to support and provide resources for students, teachers, and parents.  The Board consists of local community members that all share a common interest in the success of Mountain Home Christian Academy.  Academy Board meetings are closed, however parents may request an invitation to the Academy Board at any time to discuss a specific issue.

History

In 1978, being led by God to establish a community Christian school, Pastor Charles Stanford started Twin Lakes Christian School under the umbrella of Emmanuel Church.  Pastor Stanford moved from the area in 1992 and the school eventually closed at the end of the 1994/1995 school year. 

 In 1995, a member of our Christian school family was contacted by Living Word Church to see if there might be an interest in joining with the school they had started in 1992.  We did so and one year later, in August of 1996, the school incorporated as North Central Christian School.  This allowed the school to be independent of any particular church affiliation making it truly non-denominational.

 

From 1995 to 2006 NCCS was housed in several area churches whom we graciously acknowledge and thank for their support and role in preserving the school’s existence:  Twin Lakes Baptist Church (1995-2002); East Side Baptist Church (2002-2004); Riverside Church of Christ (2004-2006); First Free Will Baptist Church (2006-2007). 

 

In the spring of 2007, the name was changed to Mountain Home Christian Academy.  God’s hand has been upon this endeavor since its inception.  Because of the generous contributions and volunteer efforts of those in our community and beyond, who believe in Christian education, God has provided 10+ acres of property and a beautiful permanent facility in which Mountain Home Christian Academy now resides and will grow for many years to come!  To God be the glory!
