MBA began in 1981 as a ministry of Maranatha Baptist Church. Since its founding, the school has enabled Maranatha Baptist Church to serve our community by providing families with quality Christian training through a balanced academic program. The Lord has greatly blessed the ministry of the school which now includes students from preschool through twelfth grade. MBA is known throughout the community as an excellent school and is currently the largest private school in the area. We are an active member of the American Association of Christian Schools and the Missouri Association of Christian Schools.
