School Director

Moses Lake Christian Academy strives to broaden our students’ horizons beyond the classroom and prepare them for success in life. MLCA is a place where children explore their abilities and are challenged to expand their horizons. Our small teacher-to-student ratio encourages students to take risks in exploring their interests and discovering their gifts.

Moses Lake Christian School held its first classes 50 years ago with a little under 50 students in attendance. In 2002, the school joined with Daystar Academy to form Moses Lake Christian Academy. The goal has remained the same:
Provide quality Christian education to Grant County.
