Marquette is an awesome school. My 3 boys all attend this school and we will keep them here through 12 grade. We initially planned to just have my oldest attend here in K5 during covid, but after we meet everyone and seen how the school was ran, we decided that we will keep our boys at this school. The cost of tuition is well worth it! There is no better investment than in your child. The staff is very caring and very patient with the children. The people that work here truly care about the success of your child. What more can you ask than that!

We are going on our 13th year of sending our kids to Marquette. We cannot say enough good things about this school. Our oldest just graduated from here and I am confident she is well equipped to succeed in college. They are a small school, which allows for every teacher to know and love each student, and help them along to succeed. They also offer many extra after school activities such as art club, drama and many sports. Above all we are so grateful for the Christ centered education our kids receive.

We love MMBA! I am currently a parent of two students at Marquette, as well as an alum that treasured my K-12 experience from years ago. When we were deciding where to send our children, we had several checkboxes that we looked for as we interviewed at over 12 Christian schools in our area. We were looking for a Christ-centered education, fantastic music-sports-arts-theatre opportunities, professional and loving teachers, supportive administration, and a college prep curriculum bringing our children to their fullest potential, while cultivating a love for learning and glorifying Christ through it all. We were thrilled to find all of this and so much more at MMBA! Praise God for the home away from home that MMBA has become, as our children absolutely love their experience. We are so thankful that God has blessed the ministry happening through the church and school and we look forward to His continuing to foster the next generation of disciples for His glory!

Excellent school for my three children over the past 5 years. Exceptional in Math, English and Science. This quality education helped my oldest son to score a 31 on his ACT.

Marquette Manor Baptist Academy is an incredible school that I have sent my two daughters to for the past two years. My kids are challenged educationally every day by teachers and staff that care about my kids. The school is small enough that the teachers know each and every kid and have the time to spend with kids when they need help. My daughters participated in many extracurricular activities last year in art and sports. The school also did an incredible job transitioning to online education during Covid 19 this past spring. I think the educators here are incredibly talented and I am proud to send my daughters here for an amazing education.
