I believe there are positive and negative aspects to this school that should be considered for future enrollment. I have a good experience because of the relationships I built with those around me. I was able to not only make life-long friendships but I was also able to connect with numerous teachers/staff that made it easier to understand my education. The curriculums and extra curricular activities offered were beneficial and valuable. However, there are some downfalls to this school including their inability to continuously have the same teachers/staff throughout your 4-year experience. Numerous teachers that I had during my freshman year were either fired or quit before my senior year. This creates an unstable environment where it is difficult to form connections.
Our child is graduating this year and their overall experience was mostly positive. Almost all of the teachers were caring and dedicated. The administration, teacher and coaching turnover was incredibly high, so we are leaving a school that is very different from the one we joined. There is little to no academic counseling, so students are on their own in terms of college applications. The religious environment can be oppressive to those who are not evangelical Christian. Looking back, knowing what we know now, we would not select Maranatha again.
My experience at Maranatha has shaped my passion for glorifying God, serving others, and changing the world. The faculty I have interacted with have a genuine love for God and others, shown in their commitment to Gospel integration and personal connection. While Maranatha is certainly not perfect, I have seen their response to recent instances of injustice and am hopeful that the school body as a whole is dedicated to moving in a God-glorifying direction. Students are very friendly and I sense that there is a stronger sense of community than at other schools. While a student might not be involved in sports or clubs, they will still develop God-honoring relationships with teachers and peers if that is something they desire. There are many opportunities for superb college preparation, although there is definitely a lot of homework. Overall, my personal experience has been nothing short of excellent, and I am confident that that same experience is available to anyone else.
