The elementary  language arts curriculum at MCA starts with a solid phonics foundation in kindergarten and builds into a comprehensive literacy program encompassing grammar, literature, spelling, and writing. In the upper grades, students participate in fiction and non-fiction book studies across genres, as they develop a love of reading.

The elementary mathematics curriculum engages student interest using age-appropriate themes with clear explanations.

Students are taught to critically examine and analyze history as well as learn to detect similarities between current and ancient civilizations.

Morgantown Christian Academy focuses on traditional grammar and literature in the English department. Our curriculum covers grammar in depth and focuses on vocabulary and spelling.

A variety of classic novels are introduced as well.

The science program at MCA actively involves students in problem solving and scienctific analysis.
