Welcome to Maple Grove Mennonite Academy's Website!

     Non-discrimination Policy:  Maple Grove Mennonite Academy will enroll students from all families regardless of race, color, or national origin who accept the standards stated in our handbook. The parent will need to be in full agreement with the purpose of Maple Grove Mennonite Academy.

      The school is in its third year of operation and meets in the fellowship hall of Trinity Church on Main Street in Terre Hill.  We currently offer kindergarten (February to May, two days a week) and grades first through eighth, with plans to include ninth grade next year.   We currently have fifteen students and three teachers.  

     Our vision is to provide an environment where students can thrive academically, spiritually, socially, and artistically.  

Curriculum and Classes 

     Students receive daily instruction in all the basic subjects.  Small classes mean that students get lots of individual attention.  We use a wide variety of curriculum consisting of Rod and Staff, Christian Light, Saxon, Abeka, Sonlight, and Rosetta Stone.  

We also spend time outside each and every day, playing tennis, basketball, volleyball, softball, and taking nature hikes, picking up science specimens and appreciating God's beautiful creation.  

. 

 

We also have classes in Spanish, music, and art every day.  

.        

Four field trips a year is our goal.  Last year we enjoyed five!   

. 

     In addition, we volunteer our time to help others.  We do at least two service projects a year and also raise money for missions projects.
