History
Mooresville Christian Academy (MCA) opened in 1975 with 27 students. Originally leasing space from local churches, the school expanded significantly in the 1990s, leading to the purchase of its current 30-acre campus in 1997.
By 2000, MCA consolidated all classes into a new facility featuring a media center and specialized wings for elementary and junior high students. In recent years, the academy achieved accreditation from the State of Indiana, ACSI, and AdvancEd.
Expanding its mission to provide a continuous PK-12 Christian education, MCA was overjoyed to present their first graduating class in 2023.
