Student Testimonials
"Whenever I recall my time at Maranatha, it always gives me a sense of home. During my four years, I never felt ignored or lonely. I am very lucky to have gone to Maranatha, which shaped my worldview. It was an invaluable experience that expanded my knowledge of the Bible and allowed me to see and think about the world from a different perspective. This experience helped me develop good critical thinking. Maranatha is truly like an elder who guides and supports you." - Frida (China, Class of 2024)
"I've had some of my best times of my life at MCS; it's truly an amazing community! Maranatha helped me to reach my academic goals with a wide selection of courses offered and extremely professional college guidance. I was accepted into my dream school, California Baptist University, to pursue aviation studies. Lord-willing, I will become a commercial airline pilot in the future! MCS also has an amazing sports program, with many of the coaches having prior experience in professional arenas. I was a part of the football team for four years and some of my favorite memories were playing under the Friday night lights with my brothers in Christ. Not only did MCS help me to reach my academic and athletic goals, the community of amazing Christ-followers helped me grow tremendously in my relationship with God and prepared me to enter into the world, unashamed of the Gospel and able to defend my faith." - Steven (China, Class of 2023)
“Maranatha feels like a home...The first impression I had was that it is a beautiful campus. And everyone in the school is really nice, both the teachers & the students are all very helpful and approachable. What’s better is that not only did I make a lot of friends, I also learned about God, and converted to Christianity. As an international student, the most important thing I gained here is my relationship with God. And it could not have happened if it was not for everyone here that I met. No longer feeling lost, I have a purpose in my life and finally have become confident.” -Eric (China, Class of 2021 to UC Davis
“Although I only attended MCS for my high school senior year, I learned a lot and was definitely given the best learning path toward a higher education. The class sizes are pretty small (especially for AP courses), so it’s great for international students to be more engaged. All the students and staff at MCS are extremely friendly and welcoming. After graduating from MCS, I went to UCSD and graduated with bachelor’s degrees in Cognitive Science and Music. Right now, I’m pursuing my graduate degree in Technology Innovation at the University of Washington, Seattle." - Euphie (China, Class of 2017)
