Admission Policies

McKinney Christian Academy is a Christian, coeducational, independent, nonprofit, interdenominational PreK4 through Grade 12 school.

Students from Christian families are accepted into McKinney Christian Academy after demonstrating that they meet the admissions standards of the school.

We believe the specific objectives of McKinney Christian Academy are realized when the home and school are working in concert and mutual support. While we believe God has given the primary responsibility for discipline and instruction of children to parents, MCA endeavors to assist the parents in the teaching and training of truth and character development. McKinney Christian Academy approaches education within the framework of our faith in Jesus Christ as outlined in our Statement of Faith. MCA is committed to combining a biblical worldview with a college preparatory curriculum, benefiting the whole student; mind, body and spirit. McKinney Christian Academy students are afforded the opportunity to develop critical thinking skills from a Christian worldview, guiding them into making their relationship with Jesus Christ meaningful in every aspect of their lives. Please refer to MCA’s Mission Statement, Vision Statement, Statement of Core Values, Philosophy of Education Statement and Statement of Faith.

The mission of McKinney Christian Academy ultimately can be seen in the following summary of objectives:

• To establish God’s Truth as the guide for life.
• To maintain a demanding curriculum and high academic standard.
• To encourage an environment where fellow believers are co-laborers to the glory of God, benefiting students, families, faculty and staff.
• Recognizing that the MCA student’s value system originates in the home and as he/she grows, is further developed by the home, church, and school working together, which forms a structure of great strength and stability in the lives of our children.

In keeping with McKinney Christian Academy Mission of offering Christian families and their children a college preparatory curriculum within a Christian community committed to integrating biblical faith and learning, the MCA admissions process takes into account the following:

• Families who are growing in their personal Christian walk and involved in their local church. McKinney Christian Academy requires that at least one parent be a Christian.
• Students whose academic records demonstrate proven capability to succeed in our program. Therefore, students' records will be carefully evaluated prior to acceptance. MCA requires that students score at grade level or above on the admissions test.
• Students' whose recommendations show a behavioral history that is in harmony with the behavioral expectations of McKinney Christian Academy.

McKinney Christian Academy is non-discriminatory and accepts students without regard to national or ethnic origin, race, or color, and grants them equal treatment and access to services and privileges.
