What grades does MAGCA offer?

For the 2025-2026 school year, we are offering classes from K-4 up to 12th grade.

How much does tuition cost?

Please check our pricing page for a full breakdown of fees. If you have further questions, please contact us.

Is there a discount for enrolling more than one student per family?

Yes! MAGCA offers a $25 per month tuition discount for EACH additional student enrolled from a single family household. ( For example, a single family household with four enrolled students would receive a $75 TOTAL tuition discount every month of the school year! )

What kind of payments are possible?

To avoid a late fee, monthly tuition and curriculum payments are due no later than the 10th of each month. We also make it easy to set up automatic payments each month. Please contact Katrina Smith, our school administrator, if you have further questions regarding payments or payment options.

Where is MAG Christian Academy (MAGCA) located?

We are located on the MAG Church campus at 11477 Hwy 12 Orange, TX 77632.

If you are traveling due North, our campus is just East of the intersection at Highway 12 and Highway 62, past “Leslie’s Place” restaurant. We are directly across the street from the Post Office.

What is the criteria for hiring teachers?

The administration of MAGCA believes that teaching is much more than an occupation - it is a ministry! Therefore, teachers must have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. In addition, we offer employment only to individuals who are experienced in the teaching profession and have a passion to assist students to excel and succeed.

What does the weekly school schedule look like?

Pre-K4 through 12th Grade meet each Monday - Thursday, 8am - 3pm.

Are students required to arrive each morning at a certain time?

Yes. School begins at 8am. Students should arrive no earlier than 7:45 and no later than 7:55 in order to be seated and ready for their day to begin. Field trip days may require students to arrive at a different time.

What are the benefits of enrolling my student at MAGCA?

MAGCA is dedicated to help spiritually prepare students for college or trade school, and for LIFE! Our Christian faith and Biblical beliefs are integrated into all of our curriculum and are very important to our core mission of helping “train up children in the way they should go” (Proverbs 22:6). Public education is currently based on a humanistic, man centered philosophy that is the opposite of what Scripture teaches. A ‘value neutral’ education is not possible. With over 15,000 hours spent in the classroom from Kindergarten - 12th grade, it is vital for Christian families to give their children a quality, Christ-centered education that should compliment what is also being taught at home.

What does your enrollment process look like?

As a private Christian academy, we want to make sure that our values are in alignment with yours. Once you complete online registration, we will schedule a time to meet with you and your student(s). Then, if approved by our school board, we will enroll your student(s) at MAGCA. If a particular grade is on a waiting list, preference will be given first to current members of MAG Church, then to new families.

What curriculum will you be using?

Beginning with our 2025-26 school year, we will begin using the BJU (Bob Jones University) curriculum for all of our upper grade classes (7th - 12th grade). For Kindergarten through 6th Grade, we will utilize both Abeka and the BJU curriculum, based on what we’ve found works best for each grade. Abeka and BJU are comprehensive curriculums with a proven track record going back decades. Most importantly, both are based on a firm foundation of Scriptural truth with a Biblical worldview, and written by talented Christian scholars who are well grounded in practical aspects of teaching. Many thousands of students taught with the Abeka and BJU curriculum have been accepted into prestigious colleges and go on to thrive within a large spectrum of careers.

What kind of safeguards do you have in place on the MAGCA campus?

All entrances remain locked between morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up and incoming / outgoing traffic is watched carefully. Multiple perimeter checks are performed throughout the day. Our campus is also fully monitored by security cameras in every classroom, hallway and entrance.

For communication, we use the Brightwheel app which allows staff to maintain both timely and secure two-way communication with parents / guardians throughout the school day and beyond.

Will you offer other activities such as sports, band, etc. as you grow?

Many of our students currently participate in Community Christian School’s (CCS) sports program! As we grow, we plan to grow our offerings as well.
