Accreditation
The mark of a quality program.
Maranatha Christian Online School is committed to preparing students for the next chapter. That is why our rigorous academic program is designed to exceed the U.S. national education standards. Our online school is accredited and we have secured course approvals to ensure that your studies and achievements are recognized wherever your path takes you. These approvals mean that your student’s credits are more likely to be recognized when applying for college admissions, striving for Division I or II level collegiate athletics or when transferring to any other school.
