As a mom of 4, where my children spend a majority of their day is extremely important to me. Yes, I want a school that is top-notch and has advanced Godly curriculum, and it is setting my children up for success to achieve their dreams and goals in the future! But even more importantly, I want to know that my children are in the best hands possible! Teachers who care, who know my children and their strengths and weaknesses. Who can see the way that my children learn best? After all, our children will spend over 1,231 hours in school each year! I want my child in an environment that is encouraging and positive and is teaching them to have strong, bold Christian character, helping set my child up for success in all areas of their life—academically, physically, and spiritually—and to become great leaders of their community. Mannahouse Christian Academy delivers on all of these areas! I adore the teachers! I am blown away by the time and attention they spend to help my children. The love is so present here, and it is an incredible community to be a part of! My children are thriving here, and I am so grateful for this school! My kids love it most importantly, and they never really liked school before attending here.

We love Mannahouse!! It's truly a special place! Our sons are in kindergarten and 4th grade and have attended since preschool. In addition, our niece is in 10th grade. The teachers are absolutely wonderful—caring, dedicated, and deeply rooted in their faith. They have created a loving, Christ-centered environment where children feel safe, valued and inspired every day. We love how diverse the school community is and how every child is encouraged to grow not only academically but also in their relationship with Jesus. We couldn't ask for a better place for our children to learn and thrive!

We love MCA! The teachers are absolutely wonderful-caring, dedicated, and deeply rooted in their faith. They create a loving, Christ-centered environment where children feel safe, valued, and inspired every everyday. Spiritual and emotional safety is always top priority, and it shows in everything they do. We love how diverse the school community is and how every child is encouraged to grow not only academically but also in their relationship with Jesus. We love the STEAM program, the music and arts, and how it is allowing the kids the opportunity to find their joys and strengths. We love the school's commitment to opening up opportunities in sports by providing even junior camps for the younger students and creating opportunities for the older students' involvement with the camps and younger classmates. We couldn't ask for a better place for our children to learn and thrive!

I have 2 kids that have attended Mannahouse since they were in preschool. One is now in 7th grade and one in 4th grade. Our experience has been nothing but great! Both of the kids absolutely love the school and the teachers. The teachers go above and beyond to make sure your child understands what they are learning. Their understanding and individual approach to each of my kids has been so helpful. Both of my kids are thriving and love coming to school. I'm so thankful for Mannahouse and everything it has to offer.

Our son has been going to school here since preschool, and he loves it! He's currently in second grade, and we plan to keep him here throughout the rest of his schooling. The teachers are extremely nice and welcoming. Our son enjoys going to school every day and learning new things. We are so happy to be able to have him attend Mannahouse!

Mannahouse Christian Academy has been a blessing for all of our children. My wife and I have had all four of our children go through MCA, and the education they all received was excellent, as are the teachers and staff. There is definitely a sense of belonging and caring that is not present in public schools. The support students receive on a personal level is excellent as well.

Mannahouse Christian Academy has been an amazing blessing for our family. Not only does my child love going to school every everyday to the point he asks to go during holiday breaks, but I also love the feeling of security I have when I drop him off each day. It's a dream as a parent to have your child in a class where they are not only receiving an extraordinary education but also being cared for and poured into by an amazing teacher and staff! I love knowing that the values I am teaching at home are being reiterated at his school.

This school is top-notch! Advanced curriculum, committed staff, wonderful music and STEAM programs along with a fun sports program for 5th-12th grades. Christ is the center of it all. As a teacher myself, it is a joy to watch the students learn and grow in their scholastic studies, and it is an honor to help them develop a personal relationship with Jesus. It's a safe place to send your child to grow as an individual and foster lifelong friendships. What more can you ask for?

The environment is top-tier. Very close community. Biblically based. The staff truly do care about their students, and it is a great environment.

My daughter has been attending Mannahouse since preschool. From the moment she started, she has really blossomed into her own and has excelled in her education more than I ever expected. She has really grasped her learning and rarely asks for much help. I guide her when needed, but she knows the answers; the school is really pro-education, faith, and family. I'm so thankful she is able to attend.

Our whole family has LOVED going to Mannahouse. I hear 0 complaints from my kids, only positive things. I have a junior at the Portland campus, then 2 6th graders and a 2nd grader at the Vancouver campus. My junior says everyone is very nice and easy to make friends with. He's really enjoying his high school experience there. He's a musician and has really grown and utilize his gifts there. It's a very musical school. I absolutely LOVE the Vancouver campus and all the teachers (I' am around there more than that's where we live)! They are really top-notch. They are very loving, provide a great education and really make school enjoyable for the kids. We've sent our kids to other Christian schools that are even more expensive and this is by far our best experience! We absolutely love it there!!

The teachers and staff are amazing! My kids have been going here since preschool and they love it.

Huge privilege to be apart of a staff that is so deeply invested in every student in the school. Mannahouse Christian Academy isn't just an academic institution- it is a home where so many students receive guidance, care, and vision for their future.Seeing the students succeed, develop, and grow inside and outside the school is a top priority for MCA. They are "selflessly invested".

My daughter is currently in 1st grade and has been attending the school since preschool. We love the teachers and all the effort the school puts into making it a great school environment!

Absolutely love this school. It has such a young, vibrant, and relevant vibe. The student plain is super diverse, yet everyone comes together to celebrate and encourage each other. There's just a feeling of love here that you don't get at a public school. The teachers also make education, especially STEM, top priority.
