While some Christian schools offer only a Christian-inflected education, MCA was established in 1977 to provide a program that actively promotes the values and lessons of the church across all the curricular areas. It’s also unique in that it’s one of the few schools in the region that are formally affiliated with a church, Meadowvale Bible Baptist. Class sizes are small, and the annual enrollment of 140 students allows for individual instruction and a close-knit community feel within the school. The ideal student is one able to thrive in a challenging, collaborative academic environment, and is looking to grow into their faith within a community of true peers.

Liberal Arts curricula share with traditional programs their emphasis on core knowledge-acquisition, but tend to borrow more best practices from the progressive approach. A Liberal Arts program might still feature group work and projects, for example, contrary to the more singular emphasis on tests and essays at a Traditional program.
Traditional curricula tend to be very content-based and rooted in the core disciplines. It is a structured approach that involves the teacher delivering a unified curriculum through direct instruction. Students usually learn by observing and listening to their teacher, studying facts and concepts in textbooks, and completing both tests and written assignments - which challenge students to not only demonstrate their mastery of content but their ability to analyze and deconstruct it critically. Class discussions are also used to create critical dialogue around the content of the curriculum.
Some private schools offer International Baccalaureate (IB) programming. The "Diploma Programme" is offered to students in the final two years of high school, while the "Primary Years Programme" (ages 3 to 12) and "Middle Years Programme" (ages 11 to 16) serve as preparation for the diploma program.

La technologie prend sa juste place dans un contexte qui préserve avant tout la qualité des interactions, la collaboration ainsi que l’aspect humain et personnalisé de l’enseignement. Parallèlement au cursus régulier, une Formule FLEX permet à certains élèves, inscrits dans l’un des trois profils, d’évoluer dans une formule plus souple que celle que l’on retrouve dans l’organisation scolaire régulière. Les contenus notionnels demeurent les mêmes, mais la manière d’apprendre et de démontrer ses apprentissages est différente, entre autres grâce à un horaire flexible, à un petit groupe, à un apprentissage par projet au rythme de l’élève et à un suivi personnalisé par un tuteur et une équipe multidisciplinaire d’enseignants spécialisés.
The MCA curriculum covers a wide range of subject areas that surpasses the standards set by the Ontario Ministry of Education. The subject areas taught by MCA's qualified teachers include: Mathematics French Music Art Physical Education Science Social Studies Language Bible Although, as professional educators it is important for us to know, understand and align to the Ontario curriculum standards in various subjects; ultimately we exist to bring glory to God. In so doing, we recognized that we have the distinct privilege to serve families and fulfill our purpose to educate students according to the revealed Word of God. Based on our strong biblical values and the fact that God has ordained parents to be the primary teacher and educator, we will not adopt the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum that contradicts the Word of God especially the new Health and Physical Education curriculum.
Traditional Math
These math programs feature an equal balance of “Traditional” and “Discovery” methods.
Traditional Math typically teaches a method or algorithm FIRST, and THEN teaches the applications for the method. Traditional algorithms are emphasized and practiced regularly: repetition and drills are frequently used to ensure foundational mastery in the underlying mathematical procedures. The traditional approach to math views math education as akin to building a logical edifice: each brick depends on the support of the previously laid ones, which represent mastery over a particular procedure or method. Traditional Math begins by giving students a tool, and then challenges students to practice using that tool an applied way, with progressively challenging problems. In this sense Traditional Math aims to establish procedural understanding before conceptual and applied understanding.
Séquences offertes : Mathématiques Sciences naturelles Mathématiques Culture, société et technique Cours Extra en mathématiques Concours mathématiques
We use a traditional math curriculum by Purposeful Design- a publication of ACSI. The goal in the earlier years are to build a strong foundation using repetitions and drills. As they mature, they are introduced to more and more conceptual and applied understanding. The emphasis on foundation has shown results in math competitions and in Canadian Achievements Tests.

Phonics-intensive
Systematic-phonics programs teach young children to read by helping them to recognize and sound out the letters and syllables of words. Students are then led to blend these sounds together to sound out and recognize the whole word. While other reading programs might touch on phonetics (either incidentally or on a “when needed” basis), systematic phonics teaches phonics in a specific sequence, and uses extensive repetition and direct instruction to help readers associate specific letter patterns with their associated sounds.
Information not available
MCA uses a phonic-intensive program in the early age to teach our students the fundamentals needed to read. They have ample opportunity to read actual literature and join a reading buddy program with older students. Many students graduating from Kindergarten to grade 1 are already able to read full sentences and simple books with understanding.
Systematic approach
The systematic approach to teaching beginner writing focuses on directly imparting explicit sentence construction strategies, along with planning, revising, and editing skills. Students are asked to learn these explicit strategies and skills and practice them before applying them in more holistic writing assignments. Grammar and parts of sentences tend to have a central role in systematic writing instruction.
Information not available
Our writing program focuses on direct sentence, paragraph and essay/report construction strategies. Students are taught to plan, research, revise, and edit. Supplementary creative writing classes are also introduced to give students a chance to write about "real things" or stretch their imagination on point of view, audience, topic, and format.
Equal Balance
Science programs that balance expository and inquiry learning equally will likely have an equal blend of tests and experiments; direct, textbook-based instruction and student-centred projects.

Traditional
These literature programs draw in equal measure from “Traditional” and “Social Justice” programs.
In traditional literature programs students focus on decoding the mechanics of texts: plot, characterization, and themes. These texts tend to include a balance of contemporary and “classic” literature. When studying a past work, students investigate its historical context -- but only insofar as this adds understanding to the work itself. Past works are therefore studied “on their own terms”, and not merely as historical artifacts to be deconstructed: traditional literature programs are firmly rooted in the humanities, and carry the belief that great literature can reveal fundamental and universal truths about the human condition. These programs emphasize class discussions and critical essay writing, and aim to develop in students critical thinking, communication skills, and a cultivated taste and ethos.

Core Knowledge
Usually focused on teaching history and geography at an early age, the core knowledge approach uses story, drama, reading, and discussion to teach about significant people, places, and events. Breadth of content and knowledge is emphasized. The curriculum is often organized according to the underlying logic of the content: history might be taught sequentially, for example (as students move through the grades).

Audio-Lingual
These programs feature an equal blend of the audio-lingual and communicative styles of language instruction.
The audio-lingual method of teaching foreign languages emphasizes the use of repetition and a system of immediate reinforcement and feedback. The method makes particular use of oral drills where students are expected to correctly imitate (or intentionally alter) an utterance made by the teacher in the target language. Quizzes and worksheets are also used extensively.

Medium integration
A major effort is made to integrate the development of digital literacy throughout the curriculum and in everything students do. Digital literacy is understood to be a fundamental skill in the 21st century: it therefore follows, the idea goes, that teachers should find ways to connect every lesson back to technology. Effort is made to ensure the use of technology is meaningful and advances students’ skills beyond what they would otherwise be from using computers outside the classroom.

MCA’s trend to align with various Ontario Ministry of Education guidelines is primarily for updating the legal aspect of policies, forms, procedures and curricular standards that we find beneficial to independent school management, operation and best practices. Although, as professional educators it is important for us to know, understand and align to the Ontario curriculum standards in various subjects; ultimately we exist to bring glory to God. In so doing, we recognized that we have the distinct privilege to serve families and fulfill our purpose to educate students according to the revealed Word of God. Based on our strong biblical values and the fact that God has ordained parents to be the primary teacher and educator, we will not adopt the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum that contradicts the Word of God especially the new Health and Physical Education curriculum.
Academic
Academic-based preschools and Kindergartens are the most structured of the different types, and have a strong emphasis on math and reading readiness skills. These programs aim to expose children to what early-elementary school is like. While time is still allotted to free play, much of the day is built around explicit lessons guided by the teacher. Classrooms often resemble play-based ones (with different stations set up around the room), but at an Academic program the teacher leads students through the stations directly, and ties these activities to a whole-class lesson or theme.
MCA's Kindergarten program has a strong academic emphasis. Using the Abeka curriculum, students will learn their numbers and how to read and write at an early age to prepare them for the grades to come. Children begin learning cursive writing, learn piano through our interactive program and and also follow a Bible curriculum.
Standard-enriched
Broadly-speaking, the main curriculum -- like that of most schools -- paces the provincially-outlined one. This pace is steady and set by the teachers and school. The curriculum might still be enriched in various ways: covering topics more in-depth and with more vigor than the provincial one, or covering a broader selection of topics.

Rigorous
A school with a “rigorous” academic culture places a high value on academic performance, and expects their students to do the same. This does not mean the school is uncaring, unsupportive, or non-responsive -- far from it. A school can have a rigorous academic culture and still provide excellent individual support. It does mean, however, the school places a particular emphasis on performance -- seeking the best students and challenging them to the fullest extent -- relative to a normal baseline. High expectations and standards – and a challenging yet rewarding curriculum – are the common themes here. Keep in mind this classification is more relevant for the older grades: few Kindergarten classrooms, for example, would be called “rigorous”.

Notre projet éducatif vise le développement intégral de l'élève sur les plans intellectuel, social, personnel et spirituel. Le sens du partage, le souci des autres, la conscience des inégalités sociales, tout cela fait partie du bagage que nous transmettons à nos élèves. Nous insistons pour qu'elles développent leur sens des responsabilités. Et si à cet âge, elles ont besoin de balises claires, nous savons que c'est par l'expérimentation qu'elles apprennent à se connaître et à prendre confiance en elles. Nous sommes exigeants, mais cohérents dans nos demandes auprès des élèves. Elles apprennent l'importance de l'effort et de la rigueur intellectuelle.
Although, we recognize the need to help students in all areas of development as a whole child, MCA's strength is primarily in the spiritual and intellectual development of the students. Chapel presentations, community volunteering and support is given for emotional/social development and a strong extra-curricular program allows development in all areas and a love for sports and physical training.
